Objective: To investigate the effect of miR-155 on cell cycle progression of mice vascular smooth muscle cells under treatment of AngⅡ, and explore the detailed mechanism. Methods: The vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) derived from C57 mice were cultured by the adherent method (1×10-6 mol/L AngⅡ for 48 h). Quantitative real-time PCR (q-RT-PCR) was performed to detect the miR-155 expression levels of the blank control group and the Ang Ⅱ group. q-RT-PCR and Western blot assay were performed to detect the mRNA and protein levels of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor(AT1R) in the transfected miR-155 group and the negative control group; Western blot assay was performed to detect the effect of transfected miR-155 mimics and negative control group on extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) of AT1R downstream and ribosomal protein S6 kinase (P70S6K1) signaling pathway. The expression of cyclin D1(Cyclin D1) was examined by transfection of miR-155 mimics,angiotensin receptor blocker valsartan,mTOR pathway inhibitor rapamycin,and ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126. In the end,we used flow cytometer to analyze the change of cell cycle to investigate the effect of miR-155 on cell cycle and its mechanism. Results: AngⅡ significantly decreased the expression of miR-155. miR-155 mimics remarkably attenuated AT1R expression from mRNA and protein levels,inhibited the AngⅡ-activated ERK1/2 and P70S6K signaling pathway,and decreased the AngⅡ-enforced expression of Cyclin D1. Transfection of miR-155,valsartan,rapamycin and U0126 suppressed the AngⅡ-induced G1-to S-phase progression of VSMC. Conclusion: MiR-155 can inhibit the expression of AngⅡ-induced ERK1/2,activation of P70S6K1 signaling pathway,and Cyclin D1 by blocking AT1R,and thereby inhibit the function of Ang Ⅱ-induced cell cycle transition.
