ABSTRACT
Valvulopathy is a familiar heart disease, which fearfully harms the health of the body. We studied the effects and mechanism of long noncoding RNA maternally expressed gene 3 (lncMEG3) on MVICs cell in inflammatory damage. Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry were respectively used to detect the effect of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), MEG3 and microRNA (miR)-101a on cell viability and apoptosis. Moreover, MEG3 and miR-101a expression were changed by cell transfection and investigated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, Western blot was used to investigate the levels of Bax, pro-caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-3, pro-caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-9, interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6 and related-proteins of cell pathways. Otherwise, the levels of IL-1ß and IL-6 were also investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was examined by ROS assay. We found TNF-α caused inflammatory damage and upregulated MEG3. MEG3 was overexpressed and silenced in cells. Besides, MEG3 deteriorated inflammatory damage. Furthermore, MEG3 negatively regulated miR-101a and miR-101a mimic could reverse the effect of pc-MEG3. Besides, MEG3 enhanced the JNK and NF-κB pathways by downregulating miR-101a. In conclusion, MEG3 deteriorated cell inflammatory damage by downregulating miR-101a via JNK and NF-κB pathways.
