“…High IL-1β secretion plays multiple roles in the formation and stability of atherosclerosis by eliciting the production of other inflammatory molecules secreted by macrophages and ECs [37]. However, IL-10 is considered an important anti-inflammatory cytokine and is known to suppress the formation of atherosclerosis plaques [38]. …”

Background/Aims: This study aimed to identify the role of microRNA-22 (miR-22) in endothelial cell (EC) injury in coronary heart disease (CHD) by targeting NLRP3 through the inflammasome signaling pathway. Methods: A total of 24 healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into normal and atherosclerosis groups. The atherosclerosis rats were assigned into blank, negative control (NC), miR-22 mimic, miR-22 inhibitor and miR-22 inhibitor + siNLRP3 groups. A luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect the relationship between miR-22 and NLRP3. MiR-22 expression as well as NLRP3 and caspase-1 mRNA and protein expression were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting. The activity and apoptosis of coronary arterial endothelial cells (CAECs) were determined by MTT and Hoechst 33258. CAEC lumen formation was detected by a lumen formation assay. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-18 levels. Results: The results indicated that the atherosclerosis group significantly decreased miR-22 expression but increased NLRP3 and caspase-1 mRNA and protein expression. The cell survival rate was significantly increased in the miR-22 mimic group and significantly reduced in the miR-22 inhibitor group. The miR-22 mimic group displayed a lower apoptosis rate and more cells with obvious lumen walls and numerous tubular structures, while cells in the miR-22 inhibitor group were unable to form lumen walls and had a scattered distribution compared to the blank group. The ELISA showed that IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-18 levels were markedly decreased, while IL-10 was clearly increased in the miR-22 mimic group. In contrast, in the miR-22 inhibitor group, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-18 levels were significantly increased, and IL-10 levels were decreased. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that miR-22 could lower the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, which suppresses CAEC apoptosis and protects CAECs in rats with CHD.

“…It has been shown that the MAPK signaling could activate p38 and JNK, and hence regulates the activity of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and TNF-α) in macro phages [46]. Furthermore, Jiang et al observed that, in PDCD4 deficient mice, the function of IL-10 was alleviated by the suppression of the p38/ERK-c-Maf pathway [47].…”

Background/Aims: LncRNA is a growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) with tumor suppressor activities in some cancers, but its role in atherosclerosis is unclear. Methods: Bioinformatics algorithm analysis was utilized to search the target of GAS5 and miR-21, followed by luciferase assay to confirm these targets. Real-time PCR and western-blot were utilized to verify the connection among GAS5, miR-21 and Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4). MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis were performed to explore the mechanism of GAS5 in the regulation of atherosclerosis. Results: GAS5 directly targets miR-21 and functions as a competing endogenous RNA to suppress miR-21 expression. We also observed that rs145204276 polymorphism, including INS/INS and DEL/DEL, on GAS5 promoter increased transcription activity of GAS5, but the presence of rs145204276 DEL/DEL allele significantly promoted the transcription of GAS5 promoter compared with rs145204276 INS/INS allele. PDCD4 was predicted as a direct target gene of miR-21 with a binding site on PDCD4 3’UTR. It was further confirmed by luciferase assay that miR-21 significantly reduced the luciferase activity of wild-type PDCD4 3’UTR but not that of mutant PDCD4 3’UTR. In addition, high glucose significantly inhibited the growth rate of EC genotyped as DEL/DEL or INS/ INS, and apparently promoted the apoptotic rate of either DEL/DEL or INS/INS genotype ECs. Furthermore, the effect of high glucose was stronger in the INS/INS group, while the expression of GAS5 was dramatically upregulated with the presence of GAS5 DEL/DEL, while GAS5 positively regulated PDCD4 expression via inhibiting miR-21 expression. GAS5 siRNA and miR-21 mimics significantly decreased GAS5 and PDCD4 expressions, and the inhibitory effects of GAS5 siRNA or miR-21 mimics on GAS5 and PDCD4 expressions in the INS/INS group was stronger. Moreover, GAS5 siRNA and miR-21 mimics remarkably triggered cells proliferation and suppressed cell apoptosis, and the inhibition effects of GAS5 siRNA or miR-21 mimics on either cell viability and apoptosis in the INS/INS group was stronger. In this study, we enrolled 1,306 subjects with or without atherosclerosis and found that the INS/DEL or DEL/DEL genotypes significantly decreased the risk of atherosclerosis compared with the ins/ins genotype (adjusted odds ratio: 0.74 and 0.40, respectively). Conclusion: In summary, rs145204276 was associated with the risk of atherosclerosis by affecting the proliferation and apoptosis of endothelial cells via regulating the GAS5/miR-21/PDCD4 signaling pathway.

“…Liang et al demonstrated that PDCD4 was elevated in atherosclerosis mice and in the foam cells, and inhibition of PDCD4 could suppress the inflammation mediator, such as IL-6 and TNF- α [24]. Other studies showed that PDCD4 deficiency in mice increased the expression of IL-10 in macrophages and led to a decrease in atherosclerotic lesions in ApoE −/− mice who were fed high fat diets (HFD) [25]. These results suggest the potential role of PDCD4 as a novel therapeutic target in the clinical treatment of atherosclerosis.…”

Mediators of Inflammation

Inflammation response plays a critical role in all phases of atherosclerosis (AS). Increased evidence has demonstrated that miR-155 mediates inflammatory mediators in macrophages to promote plaque formation and rupture. However, the precise mechanism of miR-155 remains unclear in AS. Here, we also found that miR-155 and PDCD4 were elevated in the aortic tissue of atherosclerotic mice and ox-LDL treated RAW264.7 cells. Further studies showed that miR-155 not only directly inhibited SOCS1 expression, but also increased the expression of p-STAT and PDCD4, as well as the production of proinflammation mediators IL-6 and TNF-α. Downregulation of miR-155 and PDCD4 and upregulation of SOCS1 obviously decreased the IL-6 and TNF-α expression. In addition, inhibition of miR-155 levels in atherosclerotic mice could notably reduce the IL-6 and TNF-α level in plasma and aortic tissue, accompanied with increased p-STAT3 and PDCD4 and decreased SOCS1. Thus, miR-155 might mediate the inflammation in AS via the SOCS1-STAT3-PDCD4 axis. These results provide a rationale for intervention of intracellular miR-155 as possible antiatherosclerotic targets.
