HDAC1-mediated deacetylation of HIF1α prevents atherosclerosis progression by promoting miR-224-3p-mediated inhibition of FOSL2

We intended to characterize functional relevance of microRNA (miR)-224-3p in endothelial cell (EC) apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in atherosclerosis, considering also the integral involvement of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1)-mediated hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α) deac...

Sumario:We intended to characterize functional relevance of microRNA (miR)-224-3p in endothelial cell (EC) apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in atherosclerosis, considering also the integral involvement of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1)-mediated hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α) deacetylation. The binding affinity between miR-224-3p and Fos-like antigen 2 (FOSL2) was predicted and validated. Furthermore, we manipulated miR-224-3p, FOSL2, HDAC1, and HIF1α expression in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced ECs, aiming to clarify their effects on cell activities, inflammation, and ROS level. Additionally, we examined the impact of miR-224-3p on aortic atherosclerotic plaque and lesions in a high-fat-diet-induced atherosclerosis model in ApoE(−/−) mice. Clinical atherosclerotic samples and ox-LDL-induced human aortic ECs (HAECs) exhibited low HDAC1/miR-224-3p expression and high HIF1α/FOSL2 expression. miR-224-3p repressed EC cell apoptosis, inflammatory responses, and intracellular ROS levels through targeting FOSL2. HIF1α reduced miR-224-3p expression to accelerate EC apoptosis and ROS accumulation. Moreover, HDAC1 inhibited HIF1α expression by deacetylation, which in turn enhanced miR-224-3p expression to attenuate EC apoptosis and ROS accumulation. miR-224-3p overexpression reduced atherosclerotic lesions in vivo. In summary, HDAC1 overexpression may enhance the anti-atherosclerotic and endothelial-protective effects of miR-224-3p-mediated inhibition of FOSL2 by deacetylating HIF1α, underscoring a novel therapeutic insight against experimental atherosclerosis.
