It is still controversial whether microRNA-21 (miR-21) participates in the process of cardiac fibrosis. Our previous study confirmed that transforming growth factor beta receptor III (TGFβRIII) is a negative regulator of TGF-β pathway. Here, we aimed to decipher the relationship between miR-21 and TGFβRIII in the pathogenic process of myocardial fibrosis. We found that TGF-β1 and miR-21 were up-regulated, whereas TGFβRIII was down-regulated in the border zone of mouse hearts in response to myocardial infarction. After transfection of miR-21 into cardiac fibroblasts, TGFβRIII expression was markedly reduced and collagen content was increased. And, luciferase results confirmed that TGFβRIII was a target of miR-21. It suggests that up-regulation of miR-21 could increase the collagen content and at least in part through inhibiting TGFβRIII. Conversely, we also confirmed that overexpression of TGFβRIII could inhibit the expression of miR-21 and reduce collagen production in fibroblasts. Further studies showed that overexpression of TGFβRIII could also deactivate TGF-β1 pathway by decreasing the expression of TGF-β1 and phosphorylated-Smad3 (p-Smad3). TGF-β1 has been proven as a positive regulator of miR-21. Taken together, we found a novel reciprocal loop between miR-21 and TGFβRIII in cardiac fibrosis caused by myocardial infarction in mice, and targeting this pathway could be a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of myocardial remodeling."xsd:string |
