    Abstract:
    MicroRNAs plays important role in the development of myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of this study was to analyze whether miR-429 has effect on the process of autophagy in myocardial anoxia/reoxygenation (AR) or ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and explore the underlying mechanism. The results showed that miR-429 was significantly decreased in MI mouse hearts and AR treated cardiomyocytes. Dual luciferase activity assay proved that MO25 was the direct target of miR-429. MO25 was dramatically decreased in AR treated cardiomyocytes. Overexpression of miR-429 dramatically decreased the expression of MO25, whereas inhibition of miR-429 noticeably increased the expression of MO25. In addition, overexpression of miR-429 reduced GFP-LC3B labelled cells, decreased the number of vesicle and autophagosome in each cardiomyocyte, and induced cell apoptosis in AR treated cardiomyocytes. In contrast, inhibition of miR-429 had the opposite effect. The further in vivo study showed that when mouse in IR group were injected with antagomiR-429, the weight of left ventricular was increased and infarct size was significantly decreased. Finally, both the in vitro and in vivo study showed that the expression of MO25, LKB1, pAMPKa, ATG13, p62 and LC3BI/II was noticeably increased by antagomiR-429. In conclusion, our results suggested that antagonism of miR-429 ameliorates anoxia/reoxygenation injury in cardiomyocytes by enhancing MO25/LKB1/AMPK mediated autophagy.
