OBJECTIVE: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized as a progressive
dilation and degradation of the aortic wall, associated with activation of matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs) and inflammation. Emerging evidence indicates a role
for microRNAs (miRNAs) in AAA pathogenesis, but it is unclear whether abdominal
aortic endothelial miRNAs play a role in the disease process. We aimed to
identify miRNAs in the abdominal aortic endothelium that play a critical role in
AAA development. APPROACH AND RESULTS: The mouse model of AAA induced by
angiotensin II infusion was used in this study. Through a miRNA array and
validation study, we initially identified the murine-specific miR-712 and
subsequently its human/murine homolog miR-205 as angiotensin II-induced miRNAs in
the abdominal aortic endothelium in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, miR-712
stimulated MMP activity in the aortic wall by directly targeting 2 MMP
inhibitors: tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3) and
reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with kazal motifs (RECK). Silencing of
miR-712 and miR-205 by using anti-miR-712 and anti-miR-205, respectively,
significantly decreased the aortic MMP activity and inflammation, preventing AAA
development in angiotensin II-infused ApoE(-/-) mice. Further, upregulation of 4
angiotensin II-sensitive miRNAs, miR-205, -21, -133b, and -378, identified in
this murine study were confirmed in human AAA samples compared with nondiseased
control. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that angiotensin II-sensitive
miR-712 and its human homolog miR-205 downregulate TIMP3 and RECK, which in turn
stimulate aortic MMP activity and inflammation, leading to AAA development.
Targeting these miRNAs may be a novel therapeutic strategy to prevent AAA.
