ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The function of miR-20a-5p in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown.METHODS:
C57BL/6J mice and PASMCs were used for constructing pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) animal and cell models, respectively. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was employed to detect miR-20a-5p and ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 1 (ABCA1) messenger RNA expression. CCK-8, Transwell, and TUNEL experiments were used to determine PASMCs proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. The relationship between miR-20a-5p and ABCA1 was detected by luciferase reporter experiment, Western blot analysis, and qRT-PCR.RESULTS:
miR-20a-5p was remarkably elevated in PASMCs of PAH mice and human PASMCs treated by hypoxia, while ABCA1 was remarkably decreased. After transfection of miR-20a-5p mimics, PASMCs proliferation and migration were promoted and PASMCs apoptosis was suppressed. ABCA1 was confirmed to be a target of miR-20a-5p and restoration of ABCA1 reversed the function of miR-20a-5p.CONCLUSION:
miR-20a-5p enhances the proliferation and migration of PASMCs to promote the development of PAH via targeting ABCA1.Palabras clave
