Abstract
Background and Purpose
Cardioprotective miRNAs (protectomiRs) are promising therapeutic tools. Here, we aimed to identify protectomiRs in a translational porcine model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to validate their cardiocytoprotective effect.
Experimental Approach
ProtectomiR candidates were selected after systematic analysis of miRNA expression changes in cardiac tissue samples from a closed-chest AMI model in pigs subjected to sham operation, AMI and ischaemic preconditioning, postconditioning or remote preconditioning, respectively. Cross-species orthologue protectomiR candidates were validated in simulated ischaemia–reperfusion injury (sI/R) model of isolated rat ocardiomyocytes and in human AC16 cells as well. For miR-450a, we performed target prediction and analysed the potential mechanisms of action by GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis.
Key Results
Out of the 220 detected miRNAs, four were up-regulated and 10 were down-regulated due to all three conditionings versus AMI. MiR-450a and miR-451 mimics at 25 nM were protective in rat cardiomyocytes, and miR-450a showed protection in human cardiomyocytes as well. MiR-450a has 3987 predicted mRNA targets in pigs, 4279 in rats and 8328 in humans. Of these, 607 genes are expressed in all three species. A total of 421 common enriched GO terms were identified in all three species, whereas KEGG pathway analysis revealed 13 common pathways.
Conclusion and Implications
This is the first demonstration that miR-450a is associated with cardioprotection by ischaemic conditioning in a clinically relevant porcine model and shows cardiocytoprotective effect in human cardiomyocytes, making it a promising drug candidate. The mechanism of action of miR-450a involves multiple cardioprotective pathways.

期刊介绍:
The British Journal of Pharmacology (BJP) is a biomedical science journal offering comprehensive international coverage of experimental and translational pharmacology. It publishes original research, authoritative reviews, mini reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, databases, letters to the Editor, and commentaries.
Review articles, databases, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are typically commissioned, but unsolicited contributions are also considered, either as standalone papers or part of themed issues.
In addition to basic science research, BJP features translational pharmacology research, including proof-of-concept and early mechanistic studies in humans. While it generally does not publish first-in-man phase I studies or phase IIb, III, or IV studies, exceptions may be made under certain circumstances, particularly if results are combined with preclinical studies.
