Abstract

To study the effects of different exercise intensity on cardiac function and differential expression of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), target genes and gene function in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Establish AMI models with 40 rats, divide them into 4 groups, such as Sham operation group, isolated myocardial infarction group, continuous moderately training (CMT) group, and high intensity interval training (HIT) group, with 10 AMI rats in each group. CMT and HIT groups received exercise therapies for 8 weeks. Evaluate cardiac function with echocardiography. Analyze differential expression of circulating microRNAs, related target genes and gene function using miRNAs microarray and bioinformatics technology. CMT and HIT therapies significantly improved cardiac function and exercise tolerance in AMI rats. The effect of HIT group is significantly better than that of CMT group. Compared with Sham operation group, 14 circulating miRNAs were obviously up-regulated, 4 circulating miRNAs were obviously down-regulated in isolated myocardial infarction group. Compared with isolated myocardial infarction group, 11 circulating miRNAs were obviously up-regulated, 2 circulating miRNAs were obviously down-regulated in CMT group, and 53 circulating miRNAs were obviously up-regulated, 41 key miRNAs were obviously down-regulated in HIT group. Compared with Sham operation group, differential expression of myocardium related circulating miRNAs in isolated myocardial infarction group are miR-26a-5p, miR-92a-3p and miR-378a-3p. Compared with isolated myocardial infarction group, there is miR-92a-3p in CMT group, and there are miR-34c-3p, miR-23a-3p, miR-98-3p, miR-208a-5p and miR-92-3p in HIT group. HIT improving cardiac function and exercise tolerance in AMI rats are better than those of CMT. Numbers of differential expression of circulating miRNAs and myocardium related circulating miRNAs with HIT are higher than those of CMT, indicating that circulating miRNAs are expected to be biomarkers for determining exercise intensity and exercise effect.
