Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a miR-92a-1-5p high expression vector and a fibroblast cell line for improving cardiac fibrosis, belonging to the technical field of molecular biology and genetic engineering. Background Art

[0002] Cardiovascular diseases have a high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. Myocardial infarction is an acute cardiovascular event. If it is not treated with timely reperfusion, it often leads to fatal arrhythmias, heart failure and other adverse prognoses. Myocardial fibrosis plays a vital role in the process of ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. In the early stage of infarction, it promotes scar repair through fibroblast activation and maintains the integrity of the damaged ventricular wall structure and function. However, excessive fibrosis in the later stage will lead to a large amount of collagen aggregation, hindering the heart's contractile function and causing ventricular dilatation. The progression of cardiac fibrosis after myocardial infarction is accompanied by several significant features, including the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts, the transformation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, and excessive extracellular matrix deposition.

[0003] The TGF-β / Smad signaling pathway plays a key role in the regulation of fibroblasts and the progression of fibrosis. In the infarcted area and infarct margin area after myocardial infarction, active TGF-β binds to and phosphorylates type I and type II serine / threonine transmembrane receptors TGFBR2 and TGFBR1 on the cell membrane, and responds to the phosphorylation of its downstream effector protein Smad family and different forms of combination, transmitting extracellular signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. Active TGF-β binds to and phosphorylates TGF-β receptor 2 (TGFBR2) and TGF-β receptor 1 (TGFBR1). Phosphorylation of TGFBR1 activates the type I receptor kinase domain, and then propagates intracellular signals downstream through Smad proteins, enhancing the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins and promoting post-infarction ventricular remodeling.

[0004] Effective treatment of myocardial fibrosis can block the process of ventricular remodeling, thereby improving cardiac function and infarction prognosis. However, the pathophysiological process and molecular mechanism of post-infarction fibrosis still need to be improved, and there is still a lack of safe and effective treatment methods in clinical practice. Therefore, it is crucial to discover new targets for the process of cardiac fibrosis, which will help improve anti-fibrosis treatment.

[0005] MicroRNA (miRNA) is a non-coding RNA with a length of about 20-25 nucleotides found in eukaryotic organisms. It can recognize target mRNA through complementary base pairing and guide its degradation or inhibit its translation. It plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of various diseases including cardiovascular diseases. Various miRNAs can be used as new early diagnostic indicators for cardiovascular diseases. Among them, the miR-17-92 gene cluster is highly conserved in mammals. It has a total of 6 members, namely miR-17, miR-18a, miR-19a, miR-19b, miR-20a and miR-92a. In recent years, studies have found that members of the miR-17-92 gene cluster can regulate the occurrence and development of various cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, etc. alone or in a coordinated manner. However, there are no reports on the role of miR-92a-1-5p in myocardial fibrosis. Summary of the invention

[0042] In order to make the present invention more clearly understood, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] The inventors found in a study that the miR-92a-1-5p levels in blood samples of patients after myocardial infarction showed differential expression as myocardial fibrosis continued to progress, suggesting that it was associated with the progression of fibrosis after myocardial infarction. On this basis, the inventors conducted research on miR-92a-1-5p, and thus completed the present invention.

[0044] In the present invention, the Targetscan database (www.targetscan.org) was used to query and obtain the nucleotide sequence of miR-92a-1-5p, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the full length of the sequence is 23 bp.

[0045] In order to make the miR-92a-1-5p expressed by the lentiviral expression vector completely identical in sequence and structure to the miR-92a-1-5p physiologically synthesized in the cell, the present invention adds a miRNA stem-loop fragment and a reverse complementary fragment lacking the 9th and 10th nucleotides on the basis of the miR-92a-1-5p nucleotide sequence, and its nucleotide sequence is 5'-TTCAAGAGA-3' and as shown in SEQ ID NO: 3.
