BackgroundMyocardial infarction is one of the most serious diseases that endangering the lives of human being.Although the treatment of acute myocardial infarction has been significantly improved,there are still a large amount of post-infarction patients eventually died of heart failure inevitably.TNNI3 K is a newly discovered cardiac specific kinase,which can be combined with cardiac troponin I(cTnI)and specifically expressed in cardiomyocytes.The new study has shown that the expression of TNNI3 K increased in anoxic myocardial cells,which promotes cardiac myogenesis,improves cardiac function and reduces ventricular remodeling.SDF-1 has a myocardial protective effect after ischemia or hypoxia,and can stimulate bone marrow-derived stem cells from the bone marrow to the ischemic heart,thereby promoting blood vessel regeneration and maintaining the survival of cardiomyocytes.However,whether TNNI3 K affects the expression of SDF-1 and its regulatory mechanism has not been reported.ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of TNNI3 K and SDF-1 in ischemia-reperfusion injury of heart,and to explore the mechanism of TNNI3 K on SDF-1.Methods(1)In vivo: The expression and location of TNNI3 K and SDF-1 in Myocardial cells after myocardial infarction was detected by immunohistochemistry.The model of ischemia and reperfusion injury for C57 BL / 6 mice was constructed,and then the mice were sacrificed at the first day,the third day,the fifth day and the seventh day respectively to detect the expression of TNNI3 K and SDF-1 around the border zone of myocardial infarction by Western Blot.The expression of TNNI3 K and SDF-1 in myocardial tissue around the infarcts was detected by Western Blot in the C57 BL / 6 adult mice,which has being treated with lentivirus for overexpression of TNNI3 K five days ago.(2)In vitro: After primary incubation of myocardial cells,the cells were treated with hypoxia incubator?siRNA for TNNI3 K and SB203580 respectively,and then the expression of TNNI3 K,p-P38 and SDF-1 protein was detected by Western Blot.The supernatant was used to detect the secretion of SDF-1 by ELISA.Western Blot and PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA level of TNNI3 K and SDF-1 respectively after TNNI3 K been interfered by siRNA or overexpressed by lentivirus.Results1.The protein expression of TNNI3 K and SDF-1 was significantly increased in cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction or hypoxia.In mouse model of ischemiareperfusion injury,TNNI3 K and SDF-1 were increased at the being and then declined with the time;Overexpression of TNNI3 K by lentivirus caused the expression of SDF-1 protein increased in the myocardial tissue around the infarcts,indicating that TNNI3 K can promote the accumulation of SDF-1 in the border zone after myocardial infarction.2.In hypoxic neonatal mice cardiomyocytes,after siRNA interfering or lentivirus overexpressing the TNNI3 K,SDF-1 decreased or increased at the protein level accordingly,but the change was not obvious at the PCR level,suggesting that maybe the regulation of SDF-1 by TNNI3 K was regulated by post-transcriptional level.Treating with SB203580,the inhibition of P38 phosphorylation,SDF-1 significantly reduced,indicating that TNNI3 k may regulate SDF-1 expression by the phosphorylation of P38 in ischemic heart diseases.Conclusions1.Hypoxia and ischemia can induce the upregulation of TNNI3 K and SDF-1 protein level,and overexpress or interference the expression of TNNI3 K,SDF-1 increased or decreased accordingly.2.In ischemic heart diseases,TNNI3 K may regulate the expression of SDF-1 by the phosphorylation of P38. |
