MiRNAs are involved in various critical functions, including the regulation of cellular differentiation, proliferation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. Here we hypothesize that miR-210 can rescue cardiac function after myocardial infarction by up-regulation of angiogenesis and inhibition of cellular apoptosis in the heart. Using miRNA microarrays, we first showed that miR-210 was highly expressed in live mouse HL-1 cardiomyocytes compared with apoptotic cells after 48 hours of hypoxia exposure. We confirmed by PCR that miR-210 was robustly induced in these cells. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function approaches were used to investigate miR-210 therapeutic potential in vitro. Following transduction, miR-210 can upregulate several angiogenic factors, inhibit caspase activity, and prevent cell apoptosis compared with control. Afterwards, adult FVB mice underwent intramyocardial injections with minicircle (MC) vector carrying miR-210 precursor (MC-210), minicircle carrying miR-scramble (MC-Scr), or sham surgery. At 8 weeks, echocardiography showed a significant improvement of left ventricular fractional shortening (FS) in the MC-210 group compared to MC-Scr control. Histological analysis confirmed decreased cellular apoptosis and increased neovascularization. Finally, two potential targets of miR-210, Efna3 and Ptp1b, involved in angiogenesis and apoptosis were confirmed via additional experimental validation. miR-210 can improve angiogenesis, inhibit apoptosis, and improve cardiac function in a murine model of myocardial infarction. It represents a potential novel therapeutic approach for treatment of ischemic heart disease.
