Damage to human corneal endothelial cells (hCECs) leads to bullous keratopathy because these cells cannot be regenerated in vivo. In this study, we investigated the protective role of microRNA (miR)-302a against interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-induced senescence and cell death of hCECs. Cultured hCECs were transfected with miR-302a and treated with IFN-γ (20 ng/mL) to evaluate the protective effect of miR-302a on IFN-γ-induced cell death. Senescence was evaluated by the senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) assay, and the secretion of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors was analyzed. Mitochondrial function and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress were assessed. We revealed that miR-302a enhanced the cell viability and proliferation of hCECs and that IFN-γ increased the cell size, the number of SA-β-gal-positive cells, and SASP factors, and arrested the cell cycle, which was eliminated by miR-302a. miR-302a ameliorated mitochondrial oxidative stress and ER stress levels which were induced by IFN-γ. IFN-γ decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and promoted autophagy, which was eliminated by miR-302a. The in vivo study showed that regeneration of rat CECs was promoted in the miR-302a group by inhibiting IFN-γ and enhancing mitochondrial function. In conclusion, miR-302a eliminated IFN-γ-induced senescence and cellular damage by regulating the oxidative and ER stress, and promoting the proliferation of CECs. Therefore, miR-302a may be a therapeutic option to protect hCECs against IFN-γ-induced stress. |
