Abstract
What is the central question of this study? How does long non-coding RNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (lncRNA MIAT) function in hypoxia-induced H9C2 cells? What is the main finding and its importance? LncRNA MIAT inhibited transcription of calcitonin gene-related peptide by binding to splicing factor1, thereby promoting hypoxia-induced H9C2 cell pyroptosis. This study provides a new theoretical basis for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction by using lncRNA MIAT as a molecular target to mediate cardiomyocyte pyrodeath. Hypoxia induces severe cardiomyocyte pyroptosis, contributing to acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to analyse the molecular mechanism of long non-coding RNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (lncRNA MIAT) in hypoxia-induced H9C2 cell pyroptosis. A hypoxic H9C2 cell model was established. Cell viability was detected via the Cell Counting Kit-8 method. Levels of lactate dehydrogenase, malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase and expressions of pyroptotic markers, lncRNA MIAT, splicing factor1 (SF1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were detected via qRT-PCR. The subcellular localization of lncRNA MIAT was predicted and confirmed via LncATLAS and nuclear/cytosol fractionation assay. The binding relationships between lncRNA MIAT and SF1 and between SF1 and the CGRP promotor were verified via RNA immunoprecipitation. Rescue experiments were designed to confirm the role of lncRNA MIAT/SF1/CGRP in H9C2 cell pyroptosis. LncRNA MIAT was overexpressed in hypoxia-induced H9C2 cells. Hypoxia induced pyroptosis in H9C2 cells. Silencing of lncRNA MIAT enhanced cell viability and alleviated pyroptosis. LncRNA MIAT inhibited CGRP transcription via binding to SF1. Overexpression of SF1 promoted CGRP transcription and relieved H9C2 cell pyroptosis. Downregulation of CGRP reversed the role of silencing lncRNA MIAT in H9C2 cell pyroptosis. Overall, lncRNA MIAT inhibited CGRP transcription via binding to SF1, thereby promoting hypoxia-induced H9C2 cell pyroptosis.
