Autophagy is a ubiquitous intracellular process for cellular homeostasis maintenance by recycling damaged protein and organelles. Dysregulation of cardiomyocytes autophagic activity is implicated in various heart diseases. Recent studies had demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) played crucial roles on modulation of autophagic activity. In this study, we first established an angiotensin II-induced autophagy model on neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Western blot assay confirmed that the expression of Beclin 1 and the conversion of soluble LC3-I to lipid bound LC3-II were significantly increased at 12 h after angiotensin II stimulation, but the cardiomyocytes surface area and hypertrophic markers expression had no significant change. Then microarray analysis and real-time PCR were applied to detect differentially expressed lncRNAs during cardiomyocytes autophagy. A total of 1,249 lncRNAs were determined as differentially expressed, including 700 upregulated lncRNAs and 549 downregulated lncRNAs. LncRNAs subgroup analysis showed there were 43 transcribed ultra-conserved noncoding RNAs (T-UCRs) differentially expressed in cardiomyocytes autophagy, of which 26 T-UCRs were upregulated and 17 T-UCRs were downregulated. Bioinformatics analysis further showed that 94 differentially expressed lncRNAs contained potential binding sites of miR-22, a pro-hypertrophic and pro-autophagic microRNA. Therefore, these differentially expressed lncRNAs might play critical roles in cardiomyocytes autophagy. This finding would provide an experimental basis for future investigation on ischemic heart disease.

自噬是一种普遍存在的细胞内过程,通过回收受损的蛋白质和细胞器来维持细胞稳态。心肌细胞自噬活性的失调与各种心脏病有关。最近的研究表明,长链非编码rna (lncRNAs) 在调节自噬活性中起关键作用。在这项研究中,我们首先在新生大鼠心肌细胞上建立了血管紧张素II诱导的自噬模型。Western blot检测证实,血管紧张素II刺激后12 h,Beclin 1的表达和可溶性LC3-I向脂质结合LC3-II的转化均显著增加,但心肌细胞表面积和肥厚标志物的表达无明显变化。然后应用微阵列分析和实时PCR检测心肌细胞自噬过程中差异表达的lncRNAs。总共1,249个lncrna被确定为差异表达,包括700上调的lncrna和549下调的lncrna。LncRNAs亚组分析显示,心肌细胞自噬中有43个转录的超保守非编码rna (t-ucr) 差异表达,其中26个t-ucr上调,17个t-ucr下调。生物信息学分析进一步表明,94个差异表达的lncrna包含miR-22的潜在结合位点,这是一种促肥厚和促自噬的microRNA。因此,这些差异表达的lncrna可能在心肌细胞自噬中起关键作用。这一发现将为未来缺血性心脏病的研究提供实验基础。
