    Abstract:
    The protective effect of isoflurane on cardiomyocyte ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) was explored in hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) induced cardiomyocyte injury model. In terms of mechanism, the participation of long non-coding RNA CASC15/microR-542-3p axis was further discussed. H9c2 cells received H/R treatment to mimic myocardial I/RI. RT-qPCR was performed to quantify mRNA levels. Cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated after isoflurane pretreatment and cell transfection. ELISA was performed to measure the concentrations of inflammatory/oxidative stress-related cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, MDA, SOD). The target relationship between CASC12 and miR-542-3p was determined via dual-luciferase reporter assay. Isoflurane pretreatment alleviated H/R-induced cell viability suppression and cell apoptosis promotion, which was accompanied by CASC15 downregulation. CASC15 overexpression abolished the influence of isoflurane on cardiomyocytes' viability and apoptosis. H/R-induced excessive release of TNF-α and IL-6 was hold down by isoflurane, which was re-activated after CASC15 overexpression. The concentration changes of both MDA and SOD by isoflurane were reversed by CASC15 overexpression. CASC15 functioned as miR-542-3p sponger, and miR-542-3p overexpression attenuated the effect of isoflurane and CASC15 on H/R-induced cardiac I/RI. Isoflurane pretreatment was beneficial for the alleviation of cardiac I/RI by inhibiting oxidative stress and myocardial inflammatory response. CASC15/miR-542-3p axis was required for isoflurane to exhibit its protective activity against cardiac I/RI.
