To investigate the effects of miR-218 on expression of hypoxia-inducible factors 1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cell apoptosis in normal mice aortic endothelial cells under intermittent hypoxia (IH) condition. Anti-miR-218 inhibitor, miR-negative control and miR-218 mimic were used to tranfect the cells in different groups under IH condition. Both RT-PCR and Western blot were used to determine the expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF. Akt, p-Akt and cell apoptosis related proteins bcl-2, bax and caspase-3 and roundabout 1 (Robo1) were measured using Western blot. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0. Expression of miR-218 was significantly up-regulated in the IH group and was significantly inhibited when cells were transfected with miR-218 inhibitor. Down regulation of miR-218 could reduce the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF under intermittent hypoxia condition. In cells transfected with miR-218 mimic, expression of HIF-1α and VEGF significantly increased compared with the control. However, when treated with LY294002, the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF both decreased. Apoptosis assay showed that down regulation of miR-218 could inhibit intermittent hypoxia induced cell apoptosis, decrease expression of caspase-3 and bax and increase expression of bcl-2 under intermittent hypoxia condition. At last, silencing Robo1 could significantly enhance the expression of HIF-1α under IH condition. Inhibition of miR-218 could reduce the expression of HIF-1α and protect against IH-induced apoptosis in mice aortic endothelial cells. The effects were associated with PI3K/AKT pathway and might through targeting of Robo1.
