PG - 4731-4737 LID - 10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20230510.709 [doi] AB - This study aimed to analyze the effect of matrine on tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-alpha)-induced inflammatory response in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) and explore whether the underlying mechanism was related to the miR-25-3p-mediated Kruppel-like factor 4(Klf4) pathway. The HUVEC cell inflammation model was induced by TNF-alpha stimulation. After 24 or 48 hours of incubation with different concentrations of matrine(0.625, 1.25, and 2.5 mmol.L~(-1)), CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation. After treatment with 2.5 mmol.L~(-1) matrine for 48 h, the expression of TNF-alpha, interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-1beta(IL-1beta), and Klf4 mRNA and miR-25-3p was detected by real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR, and the protein expression of TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1beta, and Klf4 was detected by Western blot. The anti-miR-25-3p was transfected into HUVECs, and the effect of anti-miR-25-3p on TNF-alpha-induced cell proliferation and inflammatory factors was detected by the above method. The cells were further transfected with miR-25-3p and incubated with matrine to detect the changes in proliferation and expression of related inflammatory factors, miR-25-3p, and Klf4. The targeting relationship between miR-25-3p and Klf4 was verified by bioinformatics analysis and dual luciferase reporter gene assay. The results displayed that matrine could inhibit TNF-alpha-induced HUVEC proliferation, decrease the mRNA and protein expression of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta, increase the mRNA and protein expression of Klf4, and reduce the expression of miR-25-3p. Bioinformatics analysis showed that there were specific complementary binding sites between miR-25-3p and Klf4 sequences. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that miR-25-3p negatively regulated Klf4 expression in HUVECs by targeting. The inhibition of miR-25-3p expression can reduce TNF-alpha-induced cell proliferation and mRNA and protein expression of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1beta. MiR-25-3p overexpression could reverse the effect of matrine on TNF-alpha-induced cell proliferation and the mRNA and protein expression of TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1beta, and Klf4. This study shows that matrine inhibits the inflammatory response induced by TNF-alpha in HUVECs through miR-25-3p-mediated Klf4 pathway.
