PG - 1078-1085 LID - S0753-3322(17)34059-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.biopha.2017.11.052 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Plenty of lncRNAs and microRNAs have been identified to be critical mediators in the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) were aberrantly high expressed and closely associated with the pathogenesis of AS. However, its molecular mechanism has not been well characterized. METHODS: The expression patterns of MIAT and microRNA-181b (miR-181b) in clinical samples and cells were measured by RT-qPCR assays. Luciferase reporter assay and RIP assays were used to manifest the potential interaction between MIAT, miR-181b and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), Propidium Iodide (PI) staining, Terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase(TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and western blot assays were carried out to detect cell proliferation, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, and STAT3 protein level, respectively. RESULTS: MIAT expression was up-regulated and miR-181b expression was down-regulated in AS patients serum and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) induced AS cells model. MIAT facilitated cell proliferation, accelerated cell cycle progression and inhibited apoptosis in ox-LDL-induced AS cell lines, while this effect was partly reversed by miR-181b overexpression. Moreover, MIAT enhanced STAT3 expression through sequestering miR-181b as a molecular sponge. Furthermore, MiR-181b hindered cell growth, induced cell cycle arrest and promoted apoptosis by directly targeting STAT3. CONCLUSION: MIAT performed as an induction factor of AS by regulating miR-181b/STAT3 axis in ox-LDL-induced AS cell lines, offering a new insight into the potential application of MIAT in AS treatment.
