چکیده
RATIONALE Sustained cardiac hypertrophy is often accompanied by maladaptive cardiac remodeling leading to decreased compliance and increased risk for heart failure. Maladaptive hypertrophy is considered to be a therapeutic target for heart failure. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have various biological functions and have been extensively investigated in past years. OBJECTIVE We identified miR-489 and lncRNAs (cardiac hypertrophy related factor, CHRF) from hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. Here, we tested the hypothesis that miR-489 and CHRF can participate in the regulation of cardiac hypertrophy in vivo and in vitro. METHODS AND RESULTS A microarray was performed to analyze miRNAs in response to angiotensin II treatment, and we found miR-489 was substantially reduced. Enforced expression of miR-489 in cardiomyocytes and transgenic overexpression of miR-489 both exhibited reduced hypertrophic response on angiotensin II treatment. We identified myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (Myd88) as a miR-489 target to mediate the function of miR-489 in cardiac hypertrophy. Knockdown of Myd88 in cardiomyocytes and Myd88-knockout mice both showed attenuated hypertrophic responses. Furthermore, we explored the molecular mechanism by which miR-489 expression is regulated and found that an lncRNA that we named CHRF acts as an endogenous sponge of miR-489, which downregulates miR-489 expression levels. CHRF is able to directly bind to miR-489 and regulate Myd88 expression and hypertrophy. CONCLUSIONS Our present study reveals a novel cardiac hypertrophy regulating model that is composed of CHRF, miR-489, and Myd88. The modulation of their levels may provide a new approach for tackling cardiac hypertrophy.

microRNA-489 (miR-489) is a novel cancer-related miRNAs and functions as a tumor suppressor in human cancers. While, the clinical significance of miR-489 and its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain rarely known. Here, we found that the levels of miR-489 in CRC tissues were significantly lower than those in matched tumor-adjacent tissues. Furthermore, decreased levels of miR-489 also observed...

A large fraction of mammalian genomes is transcribed into noncoding RNAs. 1 Despite the prevalence in the genome, up until recently, noncoding RNAs were regarded as junk RNAs that do not code for protein and, thereby, have no biological purpose. However, over the past decade, it has become increasingly evident that noncoding RNAs can and do serve important regulatory functions in pathophysiolog...

Silicosis is an incurable occupational disease associated with inflammation, fibroblast proliferation and the accumulation of extracellular matrix in lung tissues. The dysregulation of lncRNAs and miRNAs has been implicated in many complex diseases; however, the current understanding of their roles in fibrotic lung diseases, especially silicosis, remains limited. Our previous microRNA (miRNA, m...
