miR-337-5p promotes the development of cardiac hypertrophy by targeting Ubiquilin-1 (UBQLN1)
Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response of the myocardium to the pressure overload of the heart. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are shown to be directly involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. However, the function of miR-337-5p and its potential contribution to the serine/threonine-protein...

description | Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response of the myocardium to the pressure overload of the heart. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are shown to be directly involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. However, the function of miR-337-5p and its potential contribution to the serine/threonine-protein kinase, a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in cardiac hypertrophy remains unknown. In the present study, miR-337-5p expression was examined in cardiomyocytes treated with angiotensin II (Ang II). An adenovirus vector system was employed to knockdown miR-337-5p expression to investigate its functions in cardiac hypertrophy. The results revealed a significant increase in the expression of miR-337-5p in cardiomyocytes treated with Ang II as compared with controls. In addition, downregulation of miR-337-5p expression inhibited cardiac hypertrophy both in vitro and in vivo. Dual-luciferase reporter assays demonstrated Ubiquilin-1 (UBQLN1) as the direct target of miR-337-5p, and revealed its function in the modulation of mTOR signaling. Rescue experiments indicated that UBQLN1 overexpression reversed the effects of miR-337-5p, and further verified this interaction. In summary, the results of the present study show that miR-337-5p silencing attenuates cardiac hypertrophy by targeting UBQLN1. Therefore, miR-337-5p plays a critical role in cardiac hypertrophy and may serve as a new therapeutic target. |
