This study aims to investigate the miR-26a effects on H2O2-induced apoptosis of Type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC-II) and the potential mechanism. AEC-II cells were treated with 0.5 mmol/L H2O2 to mimic cellular model of acute lung injury. Transmitting electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to observe the change of morphological structures. After infecting with miR-26a mimics, flow cytometry was performed to detect cell apoptosis. Western blot was also done to explore mitochondrial apoptosis-related markers: Caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bax. AEC-II cells treated with 0.5 mmol/L H2O2 exhibited significant cell apoptosis. Overexpression using miR-26a mimics partially reversed the effects of H2O2-induced apoptosis in AEC-II cells, evidenced by flow cytometry results. Further Western blot results revealed increased levels of Caspase-3 and Bax, and the decreased Bcl-2 level after infecting with miR-26a mimics, indicating miR-26a has protective effects against mitochondrial apoptosis in AEC-II cells. MiR-26a protected AEC-II cells against apoptosis via mitochondrial pathway. Thus, miR-26a promises to be a potential therapy in treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
