Objective To investigate the effect of microRNA-1 (miR-1) on the fibrosis of cardiac fibroblasts induced by high glucose. Methods The primary cultured fibroblasts from 1-3 days old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 3): normal glucose + lentivector-vehicle (CON+Lv-Vehicle group), normal glucose + lentivector-miR-1 (CON+Lv-miR1 group), high glucose + lentivector-vehicle (HG+Lv-Vehicle group), high glucose + lentivector-miR-1 (HG+Lv-miR1 group). Fibroblasts were cultured in glucose concentration 5.5 mmol/L and 25 mmol/L DMEM culture, and were injected lentiviral vector carrying miR-1 silencer sequence or the same volume of lentiviral vector. After 12 hours, the medium was replaced with fresh complete medium. After 3 days when transfection efficiency was up to 90%, the cellular miR-1 content was detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The secretion of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ, matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 (MMP-2, MMP-9), autophagy related protein LC3B-Ⅱ, P62/SQSTM1 and Cathepsin D were assessed by Western Blot. Results Compared with the CON+Lv-Vehicle group, the content of miRNA in the CON+Lv-miR1 group had no statistical significance. Compared with the CON+Lv-Vehicle group, high glucose increased the amount of miR-1 (2-ΔΔCt: 1.82±0.17 vs. 1.00±0.04), collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ secretion (mg/L: 14.55±0.33 vs. 7.28±0.22, 157.50±13.22 vs. 61.25±8.54) and expression (gray value: 432.35±56.00 vs. 100.00±15.00, 320.35±47.00 vs. 100.00±15.00), the level of MMP-2, MMP-9 and the expression of autophagy related protein LC3B-Ⅱ and P62/SQSTM1 (gray value: 249.0±21.0 vs. 100.0±15.0, 142.3±20.0 vs. 100.0±16.0, 178±19 vs. 100±14, 378.3±20.0 vs. 100.0±15.0), decreased the expression of lysosomal associated protein Cathepsin D (gray value: 60±14 vs. 100±10), and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Compared with the HG+Lv-Vehicle group, the amount of miR-1 in the HG+Lv-miR1 group was significantly decreased (2-ΔΔCt: 1.21±0.10 vs. 1.82±0.17), collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ secretion (mg/L: 10.68±0.54 vs. 14.55±0.33, 87.25±13.55 vs. 157.50±13.22) and expression (gray value: 179.41±45.00 vs. 432.35±56.00, 173.41±50.00 vs. 320.35±47.00), the level of MMP-2, MMP-9 and the expression of autophagy related protein LC3B-Ⅱ and P62/SQSTM1 (gray value: 172.0±23.0 vs. 249.0±21.0, 90.0±17.0 vs. 142.3±20.0, 138±15 vs. 178±19, 265.0±17.0 vs. 378.3±20.0) in the HG+Lv-miR1 group were decreased and the expression of lysosomal associated protein Cathepsin D was higher (gray value: 110±17 vs. 60±14), and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions The expression of miRNA-1 was up-regulated in cardiac fibroblasts cultured in high glucose, and miRNA-1 silencing inhibited cardiac fibroblast induced fibrosis in high glucose. The mechanism may be related to the recovery of autophagy flux, up-regulation of Cathepsin D expression and inhibition of collagen production.

Twelve populations of Inula lineariifolia were used as materials to measure morphological characteristics, photosynthetic parameters and chemical constituents. It aims to provide a theoretical basis for germplasm resources evaluation. The results showed that I. lineariifolia had relatively rich morphological diversity, there were significant differences of morphological characteristics, photosynthetic parameters and chemical constituents among populations. There was positive correlation on morphological characteristics and P(n). Twelve populations were divided into three-type. The three populations of Xuyi, Mingguang and Fengyang were of narrower-longer leaf, bigger biomass,better photosynthetic and higher chemical constituents. Then they were classified for a similar group. It proved that the three populations were more suitable for cultivation and promotion.
