BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and myocardial apoptosis are features of doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity that can result in cardiac dysfunction. Previous studies showed that microRNA-143 (miR-143) was expressed in the myocardium and had a role in cardiac function. This study aimed to investigate the effects and possible molecular mechanisms of miR-143 on oxidative stress and myocardial cell apoptosis in a mouse model of doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity. MATERIAL AND METHODS Mice underwent intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin (15 mg/kg) daily for eight days to develop the mouse model of doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity. Four days before doxorubicin administration, a group of mice was pretreated daily with a miR-143 antagonist (25 mg/kg/day) for four consecutive days by tail vein injection. The study included the use of a miR-143 antagomir, or anti-microRNA, an oligonucleotide that silenced endogenous microRNA (miR), and an agomir to miR-143, and also the AKT inhibitor, MK2206. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunoblot analysis were used to measure mRNA and protein expression, respectively. RESULTS Doxorubicin treatment increased the expression of miR-143, which was reduced by the miR-143 antagomir. Overexpression of miR-143 increased doxorubicin-induced myocardial apoptosis and oxidative stress. The use of the miR-143 antagomir significantly activated protein kinase B (PKB) and AKT, which were reduced in the presence of the AKT inhibitor, MK2206. However, the use of the miR-143 antagomir further down-regulated AKT phosphorylation following doxorubicin treatment and increased AKT activation. CONCLUSIONS In a mouse model of doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity, miR-143 increased oxidative stress and myocardial cell apoptosis following doxorubicin treatment by inhibiting AKT.
