摘要

microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. A previous study has reported that miR-497 is elevated in advanced atherosclerotic lesions in an apoE-deficient (apoE-/-) mouse model. The purpose of this study is to test whether miR-497 can modulate macrophage foam cell formation, an initiating event in atherosclerosis. We found that miR-497 was upregulated in THP-1 macrophages after treatment with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). Enforced expression of miR-497 promoted lipid accumulation and decreased cholesterol efflux in oxLDL-exposed THP-1 macrophages. In contrast, downregulation of miR-497 suppressed oxLDL-induced lipid accumulation in THP-1 macrophages. Apelin was identified to be a downstream target of miR-497. Overexpression of miR-497 significantly reduced the expression of apelin in THP-1 macrophages. Interestingly, delivery of a miR-497-resistant variant of apelin significantly inhibited lipid accumulation and enhanced cholesterol efflux in miR-497-overexpressing THP-1 macrophages in response to oxLDL. In addition, miR-497 expression was increased and negatively correlated with apelin protein expression in human atherosclerotic lesions. In conclusion, miR-497 contributes to oxLDL-induced lipid deposition in macrophages largely via targeting of apelin and thus represents a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.
