Abstract Background Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs), have been extensively investigated in diseases. The upregulated expression of miR-19b-3p has been validated in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Nonetheless, it regulatory mechanism in myocardial infarction (MI) is still unclear. Purpose This research aimed to investigate the role and molecular regulation mechanism of miR-19b-3p in MI. Methods QRT-PCR and western blot assays measured RNA and protein expression. Cell apoptosis were tested by flow cytometry and TUNEL assays. Cell viability was measured by trypan blue staining method. RIP and luciferase report assays examined gene interaction. The assays were performed under hypoxia condition. Results MiR-19b-3p was highly expressed in myocardial cell line H9C2, primary cardiomyocytes, and tissues from MI mouse model. MiR-19b-3p inhibition suppressed the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. BC002059 could up-regulate ABHD10 through sequestering miR-19b-3p. BC002059 upregulation was observed to repress cell apoptosis. Rescue experiments demonstrated that miR-19b-3p overexpression abrogated the suppressive impact of BC002059 on the apoptosis of MI cells, and infarct size, area at risk as well as CK-MB and LDH release of MI mouse model tissues, which was further abolished via ABHD10 increment. Conclusion MiR-19b-3p regulated by BC002059/ABHD10 axis promotes cell apoptosis in MI, which might provide a novel perspective for MI alleviation research.
