Abstract

Objectives

Ischemic heart failure (IHF) is the most common cause of death globally. Growing evidence shows abnormal expression of long non-coding RNAs in heart failure patients. This study aims to investigate the effect of sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) overlapping transcript (SOX2-OT) on the regulation of the inflammatory response in ischemic heart failure.

Methods

IHF rat and oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) cell models were established. qRT-PCR was employed to investigate the expression of SOX2-OT. ELISA, western blot and cell viability/apoptosis assays were performed to assess the effects of SOX2-OT. Online software program was used to identify miRNAs that target SOX2-OT, followed by validation using RNA pull-down. Potential targets of miRNAs were searched, and examined by immunoblotting, qRT-PCR and luciferase reporter assay.

Results

SOX2-OT was up-regulated in IHF and OGD. Knockdown of SOX2-OT promoted cell proliferation, decreased apoptosis rate and cell oxidative damage, and ameliorated inflammatory response. SOX2-OT contains binding sites for miR-455-3p, miR-5586-3p and miR-1252-5p. RNA pull-down confirmed the binding ability between SOX2-OT and miR-455-3p. TRAF6 is a direct target of miR-455-3p. Moreover, the regulatory activity of SOX2-OT on inflammatory response was partially through its negative regulation of miR-455-3p, which directly regulates TRAF6. Down-regulation of SOX2-OT improved myocardial dysfunction in IHF rat.

Conclusions

Our results reveal that SOX2-OT may be a driver of IHF through repression of miR-455-3p, and miR-455-3p alleviates IHF by targeting TRAF6. Therefore, SOX2-OT/miR-455-3p/TRAF6 may be a potential target for advanced therapeutic strategy for IHF.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
