It is generally believed that excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during cardiovascular diseases impairs endothelial function. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether miR-214-3p is involved in the endothelial dysfunction induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). In cultured vascular endothelial cells (VECs), the effects of miR-214-3p on endothelial injury induced by 100 mg/L ox-LDL were evaluated by knockdown of miR-214-3p. Western blotting was used to determine the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in VECs under different conditions. A luciferase reporter assay was used to identify GPX4 as the target of miR-214-3p. Our data showed that 100 mg/L ox-LDL significantly decreased the expression of GPX4 and eNOS, which was associated with increases in ROS levels and impairments of VEC viability and migration. Knockdown of miR-214-3p could partially reduce the increase in ROS, restore the decreased expression of GPX4 and eNOS, and thus rescue the impaired endothelial function caused by ox-LDL. Our data demonstrated that ox-LDL could induce upregulation of miR-214-3p and result in suppression of GPX4 in VECs. Downregulation of miR-214-3p could protect VECs from ROS-induced endothelial dysfunction by reversing its inhibitory effect on GPX4 expression.
