Ischemic postconditioning (IPostC) is an endogenous protective mechanism to reduce ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, whether IPostC protects aged cardiomyocytes against I/R injury is not fully understood. Considering the protective function of microRNA 30a (miR-30a) against ischemia-induced injury in H9C2 cells, its role in the protective effects of IPostC on I/R injury of aged cardiomyocytes was investigated further.Methods and Results:To mimic I/R and IPostC in vitro, the aged cardiomyocyte model for hypoxia postconditioning (HPostC) treatment was established by 9 days of incubation with 8 mg/mL D-galactose and then followed by exposure to hypoxic environment. HPostC significantly alleviated hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury and reduced autophagy of aged cardiomyocytes, as evidenced by decreased LC3B-II expression and increased p62 by Western blot. Quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), miR-30a was increased in aged cardiomyocytes treated with HPostC compared with I/R injury group. Overexpression of miR-30a by LV3-rno-miR-30a mimic promoted cardioprotective effect of HPostC in aged cardiomyocytes by suppressing BECN1-mediated autophagy, all of which was abrogated by knockdown of miR-30a expression. Epigenetic analyses demonstrated that HPostC reduced DNA methyltransferase 3b-mediated DNA hypomethylation levels at miR-30a promoter, leading to upregulation of miR-30a.
