| الوصف: | Background/Aims: Loss of endothelial barrier function plays an important role in the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). This study aimed to investigate the effects of miR135a on VILI in a model of mechanical stretch (MS)-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury. Methods: HUVECs were randomly assigned to 7 groups: blank, negative control (NC), NC+MS, miR135a over-expression (mi-miR135a), mi-miR135a + MS, miR135a silencing (si-miR135a) and si-miR135a + MS groups. MS was induced by subjecting cells to cyclic stretch at 20% stretch for 4 h. After 24 h, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured by DCFH-DA fluorescence intensity. Apoptosis was measured using annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide assay with flow cytometry. Inflammatory cytokine levels were determined by ELISA. Barrier integrity was determined using FITC-conjugated dextran assay. Expression levels of PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, Bcl-2 and Bax were examined using western blotting. The interaction between miR135a and PHLPP2 was evaluated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results: Our results showed that MS reduced cell numbers, increased the number of apoptotic cells, increased ROS, barrier dysfunction and inflammatory cytokines in HUVECs, and reduced p-PI3K and p-Akt expression; silencing of miR135a worsened MS-induced HUVEC injury. However, miR135a over-expression protected HUVECs against MS-induced increases in apoptotic cells, ROS, barrier dysfunction and inflammatory cytokines, which were accompanied by activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Simultaneous silencing of miR135a and PHLPP2 partially salvaged the effects of miR135a silencing, and miR135a was found to interact with PHLPP2. Conclusion: miR135a may protect HUVECs from MS-induced injury by inhibiting PHLPP2 to activate PI3k/Akt signaling pathway. |
