Oxidative stress plays a significant role in cardiovascular diseases, and endoplasmic reticulum stress is an important source of reactive oxygen species. miR-16-5p could promote oxidative stress through ER stress induction and regulation of ATF6. Analysis of oxidative markers in the plasma of ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy patients showed a correlation with oxidative stress. Overexpression of miR-16-5p increased oxidative stress in cardiomyoblasts, while its suppression decreased apoptosis, inflammation, and cardiac damage through activation of the ATF6-mediated cytoprotective pathway. ATF6 was identified as a direct target gene of miR-16-5p.
Oxidative stress, defined as the excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) relative to antioxidant defense, plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has emerged as an important source of ROS and its modulation could be cardioprotective. Previously, we demonstrated that miR-16-5p is enriched in the plasma of ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients and promotes ER stress-induced apoptosis in cardiomyocytes in vitro. Here, we hypothesize that miR-16-5p might contribute to oxidative stress through ER stress induction and that targeting miR-16-5p may exert a cardioprotective role in ER stress-mediated cardiac injury. Analysis of oxidative markers in the plasma of ICM patients demonstrates that oxidative stress is associated with ICM. Moreover, we confirm that miR-16-5p overexpression promotes oxidative stress in AC16 cardiomyoblasts. We also find that, in response to tunicamycin-induced ER stress, miR-16-5p suppression decreases apoptosis, inflammation and cardiac damage via activating the ATF6-mediated cytoprotective pathway. Finally, ATF6 is identified as a direct target gene of miR-16-5p by dual-luciferase reporter assays. Our results indicate that miR-16-5p promotes ER stress and oxidative stress in cardiac cells through regulating ATF6, suggesting that the inhibition of miR-16-5p has potential as a therapeutic approach to protect the heart against ER and oxidative stress-induced injury.
