    Abstract:
    This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-26a-5p on cardiomyocyte injury induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).After construction of an H/R model in rat cardiomyocyte H9c2 cells, miR-26a-5p in the cells was interfered with (cells transfected with miR-26a-5p inhibitor) or overexpressed (cells transfected with a miR-26a-5p mimics). The viability and the apoptosis rate of cells in each group were detected using CCK-8 and flow cytometry; the relationship between miR-26a-5p and WNT5A was verified by a dual-luciferase reporter assay; the expression of miR-26a-5p, WNT5A, cleavedcaspase3 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins in each group was detected using qRT-PCR or Western blot; LDH release, SOD, and GSH-PX activities in each group were detected by kit.In the H/R group, the expression level of miR-26a-5p was significantly decreased, whereas the expression level of WNT5A was significantly increased. The activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was up-regulated; the level of LDH released was significantly increased; and activities of SOD and GSH-PX were significantly decreased. The aforementioned changes resulted in decreased cell activity and increased apoptosis rate. The overexpression of miR-26a-5p could reduce the expression level of WNT5A, the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and the apoptosis rate and restore the cell viability.These results suggest that miR-26a-5p can target WNT5A and thus, inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activity, inhibiting H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury and apoptosis.
