Dysfunction of cardiac cells under hypoxia has been identified as an essential event leading to myocytes functional failure. MiRNAs are importantly regulatory small-noncoding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression through the direct binding of 3?-UTR region of their target mRNAs. Recent studies have demonstrated that miRNAs are aberrantly expressed in the cardiovascular system under pathological conditions.Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) is a kinase which phosphorylates pyruvate dehydrogenase to inactivate it, leading to elevated anaerobic glycolysis and decreased cellular respiration. In the present study, we report that miR-138 expressions were significantly suppressed under long exposure to hypoxia. In addition, overexpression of miR-138 protects human cardiac cells against hypoxia. We observed miR-138 inhibits glycolysis but promotes mitochondrial respiration through directly targetting PDK1. Moreover, we demonstrate that hypoxia induces cardiac cell death through increased glycolysis and decreased mitochondrial respiration. Inhibition of glycolysis by either glycolysis inhibitor or knockdown glycolysis enzymes, Glucose transportor 1 (Glut1) or PDK1 contributes to cardiac cells? survival. The cell sentivity to hypoxia was recovered when the PDK1 level was restored in miR-138 overexpressing cardiac cells. The present study leads to the intervention of novel therapeutic strategies against cardiac cells dysfunction during surgery or ischemia.
