Abstract:
Objective:To determine the changes in the expression of myocardial miRNA and the target genes in the rats with hypothermic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) arrhythmia.Methods:Clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2-3 months, weighing 300-400 g, were anesthetized, the chest was opened, and the heart was taken to establish an isolated heart perfusion model.Six successfully perfused isolated hearts were divided into 2 groups ( n=3 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C) and heart I/R group (IR group). The model of hypothermic global I/R injury was established by interrupting perfusion for 60-min followed by 30-min reperfusion in chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats.The arrhythmia score was recorded during reperfusion.High-throughput sequencing was used to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs in two groups.The RNAhybrid and miRanda databases were used to predict the target genes of mRNA regulated by the differentially expressed miRNAs, and the enrichment for target genes was performed by Gene Ontology and KEGG databases, and the miRNAs closely related to arrhythmia and with higher expression were selected to carry out the real-time polymerase chain reaction detection. Results:The results of high-throughput sequencing showed that there were 7 differentially expressed miRNAs (novel-miR-17, novel-miR-19, novel-miR-30, novel-miR-43, rno-miR-122-5p, novel-miR-16 and rno-miR-429) in group IR as compared with group C. There were 4 miRNAs that were closely related to arrhythmia and had higher expression: the expression of novel-miR-17, novel-miR-30 and rno-miR-122-5p was significantly up-regulated, and the expression of rno-miR-429 was down-regulated in group IR when compared with group C ( P<0.05). The miRNA-mRNA correlation analysis revealed that GJA1 gene was the target of novel-miR-17. Conclusion:Myocardial novel-miR-17 is involved in the occurrence of hypothermic I/R arrhythmia probably by acting on GJA1 gene in rats.
