Abstract: | AIM:To investigate the effect of 27nt-microRNA (27nt-miRNA) on the expression of smooth muscle 22α protein (SM22α) and the cell viability, migration and phenotypic changes of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS:The highly expression plasmids of 27nt-miRNA, and anti-27nt-miRNA and negative control plasmids were constructed, packaged with lentivirus and transfected into the rat primary VSMCs. Platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) was added to induce VSMCs phenotype conversion. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The migration ability was detected by scratch assay. The mRNA and protein expression of SM22α was determined by RT-PCR, immunocytochemical staining and Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with normal group, the cell viability in PDGF-BB group was increased (P<0.05), the migration ability was increased (P<0.05) and the expression of SM22α at mRNA and protein level was decreased (P<0.05). Compared with negative control lentiviral group, the cell viability in 27nt-miRNA over-expression group was decreased (P<0.05), the migration ability was decreased (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expression of SM22α was increased (P<0.05). While in anti-27nt-miRNA group, the cell viability was increased(P<0.05), the migration ability was increased (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expression of SM22α was decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:27nt-miRNA significantly increases the expression of SM22α, while inhibits the viability and migration ability of VSMCs, and inhibits its phenotypic shift from contractile to synthetic. |
