Abstract | Objective: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, noncoding RNAs of
≈22 nucleotides that negatively regulate gene expression. They appear to
play a role in the development/progression of many disorders, including
inflammation, cardiovascular diseases and endothelial dysfunction. This study
examines the role of miR-17-3p in vascular inflammation.
Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were
transfected with miR-17-3p agomir (miR-17-3p mimic) or its negative control
using lipofectamine 2000. They were incubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS,
10 ng/ml) for 16 hours to induce inflammatory reactions. The level of miR-
17-3p and the expressions of IκBα, p65 and phosphorylated p65 (p-p65) were
measured by qPCR and Western blotting. The amount of interleukin-8
(IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α released in the culture medium
was detected with ELISA kit.
Results: The levels of miR-17-3p, IL-8, TNF-α and p-p65 were increased
following LPS stimulation. While the expression of p65 was not changed,
the expression of IκBα was reduced. LPS-induced increase in IL-8 level and
decrease in IκBα expression were smaller in HUVECs transfected with miR-
17-3p agomir than in those transfected with the negative control. |
