    Abstract:
    Recent studies have revealed the important role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in heart development and pathogenesis. This study was aimed to investigate the role of NEAT1 in hypoxia-induced cardiac injury and explore its possible molecular mechanism. Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was used to determine the relative RNA expression of NEAT1 and its potential target microRNA, miR-129-5p, in the plasma of patients with acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and angina, as well as in H2O2-treated H9c2 cells. The role of NEAT1 overexpression or inhibition in H9c2 cell migration and proliferation was assessed by transwell assay and Edu staining, respectively. Collagen deposition and apoptosis were evaluated by Western blot detection of collagen and apoptotic proteins, including Capase3, Bax, and Bcl2. We showed that H2O2 treatment significantly decreased H9c2 cell migration and proliferation while increasing H9c2 cell apoptosis. Inhibition of NEAT1 attenuated the cell apoptosis and alleviated proliferation inhibition induced by hypoxia. Bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-129-5p was the direct target of NEAT1, which was confirmed by luciferase assay. NEAT1 upregulation aggravated apoptosis by downregulating miR-129-5p. In conclusion, we uncovered a novel NEAT1-miR-129 axis and its implication in H2O2-induced heart failure.
