Inhibition of G3bp1 restricts ET-1 induced cardiac hypertrophy.

<p>(a) Neonatal myocytes were infected with adenoviruses expressing miR-SC (control virus), G3BP1, miR-1 or 10% FBS, as indicated. Total protein lysate was extracted and analyzed by western blotting for Eif4e, rasGAP, Actin and G3bp1 (n = 2). (b) Neonatal myocytes cultured were treated with adenovirus expressing miR-1, G3BP1 or control virus, as indicated. After 24hrs the cells were supplemented with [H³]-leucine to the medium. After additional 24hrs, protein and DNA was extracted and counts per minute (CPM) measured, normalized to DNA, averaged and plotted. Graph represents relative CPM/μg of DNA Error Bars represents SEM, * represents p<0.05 vs. control. # represents p<0.05 G3bp1+miR-1 vs. miR-1 (n = 3). (c) Immunocytochemistry was performed on myocytes plated in glass chamber slides and treated with Ad-LacZ or Ad-G3BP1, as indicated. Myocytes were stimulated with ET-1 in the presence or absence of Ad-siG3bp1 or Ad-siLUC. The cells were fixed and stained for phalloidin and DAPI. N = 3. d. The graph represents cell area quantified using Image J, error bars represents SEM and * is p<0.05 vs. Ad-siLUC, and # is p<0.05 vs. ET-1+Ad-siLUC, n = 3 independent experiments.</p

MiR-1 expression is posttranscriptionally regulated during cardiac hypertrophy.

<p>Pool of three sham/adult and TAC operated mouse hearts were used for anti-RNA pol II, anti-H3K9ac and anti-Gtf2b ChIP-Seq. Binary analysis files (BAR) from the ChIP-Seq data was viewed in Affymetrix’s Integrated Genome Browser (IGB), which shows the fragment densities of RNA pol II, H3K9ac and Gtf2b (<i>y-</i>axis) aligned in 32–50 nucleotide bins along the chromosomal coordinates (<i>x</i>-axis) for miR-1-133 clusters. The arrow indicates the transcription start site and the direction of transcription. (a) IGB images of miR-1-1 and miR-133a-2 transcript with RNA polII, H3K3ac and Gtf2b densities across intergenic regions of chromosome 2. (b) IGB images of miR-1-2 and miR-133a-1 cluster with RNA polII, H3K3ac and Gtf2b densities within the Mindbomb 1 (Mib1) gene located in chromosome 18. (c) Total mRNA extracted from mouse hearts from sham or TAC operated hearts for 1day or four days were used for qPCR analysis of primary, pre-miR-1-1, pre-miR-1-2 and mature miR-1 levels. The results were normalized to 18S (primary and pre- transcript) or U6 (mature) and shown as ratio of TAC/sham. Error bars represents standard error of mean (SEM) and * is p< 0.05, n = 3. (d) Neonatal myocytes cultured in growth-inhibited (serum free) conditions were stimulated with 100nM endothelin-1 or 10%FBS for 1hr or 24hrs, as indicated. Total RNA extracted was used for qPCR analysis of primary, pre- and mature miR-1. Error bars represents SEM, and * is p<0.05 and ** is p< 0.005. N = 3.</p

Eif4e is direct target of miR-1 in cardiomyocytes.

<p>(a) Targetscan and Pictar predicted miRs and sites on Eif4e 3’UTR that are broadly conserved between vertebrates. (b) Neonatal myocytes cultured in growth-inhibited medium (serum-free, SF) were infected with adenovirus constructs of Eif4e, as indicated, with multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5 or 20 for 24hrs before protein extraction, followed by Western blotting for Eif4e and Gapdh. Relative Eif4e represents densitometry of two independent blots, averaged and normalized to Gapdh. (c) The graph represents relative increase in Eif4e protein expression levels with Eif4e-Mut and Eif4e-Cds constructs compared to Eif4e-Fl. Error bars represents SEM and ** is p<0.001, n = 3. (d) Neonatal myocytes were infected with Ad-SC, Ad-MiR-1 or Ad-anti-miR-1 in increasing doses in the presence or absence of 10% FBS, respectively, as indicated. Western blot analysis was performed on protein lysate for Eif4e and MHC. n = 3. (e) The graph represents change in Eif4e protein expression with Ad-miR1- or Ad-anti-miR-1 normalized to MHC.

Cells were stained for Eif4e, MHC and DAPI. Eif4e signal was quantified using Analyze particles tool from Image J. The graph represents average number of Eif4e stained particles/cell and average size of particles with the treatments. Error bars represent SEM, and * is p<0.05 and ** is p<0.005.
