Journal Article
NEAT1 knockdown suppresses endothelial cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by regulating miR-638/AKT/mTOR signaling in atherosclerosis
2020
Overview
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been validated to mediate the development of atherosclerosis (AS). In the present study, the molecular mechanisms and functions of lncRNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) in the advancement of human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were investigated. The levels of lncRNA-NEAT1 and miR-638 expression in clinical samples and cells were explored via quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Colony formation and CCK-8 assays were performed to determine the proliferative capacity of cells, and the apoptotic capacity of cells was analyzed on the basis of apoptotic cell proportion and caspase-3 activity. Then, the proportion of cells and correlations among phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), NEAT1, and miR-638 were determined through RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays and bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, the expression levels of Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PGK1, Bax, Bcl-2, (p)-mTOR, (p)-AKT, and β-catenin were analyzed via western blot analysis. In the serum of patients with AS and HAECs induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), the expression level of miR-638 was decreased, whereas that of NEAT1 was increased. After ox-LDL therapy, NEAT1 knockdown suppressed HAEC proliferation and stimulated HAEC apoptosis, which could be reversed by the miR-638 inhibitor. NEAT1 inhibited miR-638 expression through direct mutual action. The following mechanical investigations revealed that PGK1 was a miR-638 target, whose expression was increased by NEAT1, a competing endogenous RNA of miR-638. Additionally, the miR-638 inhibitor contributed to proliferation and suppressed apoptosis through the activation of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in ox-LDL-induced HAECs. NEAT1 adjusted the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway via miR-638 in ox-LDL-induced HAECs to accelerate their proliferation and impede their apoptosis. This result revealed that NEAT1 may be valuable in the treatment of AS.
