BACKGROUND: Excess aldosterone is implicated in vascular calcification (VC), but the mechanism by which aldosterone-MR (mineralocorticoid receptor) complex promotes VC is unclear. Emerging evidence indicates that long-noncoding RNA H19 (H19) plays a critical role in VC. We examined whether aldosterone-induced osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through H19 epigenetic modification of Runx2 (runt-related transcription factor-2) in a MR-dependent manner.
METHODS: We induced in vivo rat model of chronic kidney disease using a high adenine and phosphate diet to explore the relationship among aldosterone, MR, H19, and VC. We also cultured human aortic VSMCs to explore the roles of H19 in aldosterone-MR complex-induced osteogenic differentiation and calcification of VSMCs.
RESULTS: H19 and Runx2 were significantly increased in aldosterone-induced VSMC osteogenic differentiation and VC, both in vitro and in vivo, which were significantly blocked by the MR antagonist spironolactone. Mechanistically, our findings reveal that the aldosterone-activated MR bound to H19 promoter and increased its transcriptional activity, as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation, electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and luciferase reporter assay. Silencing H19 increased microRNA-106a-5p (miR-106a-5p) expression, which subsequently inhibited aldosterone-induced Runx2 expression at the posttranscriptional level. Importantly, we observed a direct interaction between H19 and miR-106a-5p, and downregulation of miR-106a-5p efficiently reversed the suppression of Runx2 induced by H19 silencing.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study clarifies a novel mechanism by which upregulation of H19 contributes to aldosterone-MR complex-promoted Runx2-dependent VSMC osteogenic differentiation and VC through sponging miR-106a-5p. These findings highlight a potential therapeutic target for aldosterone-induced VC.
