To study the influence of miR-409-3p on myocardial injury in young mice with Kawasaki disease (KD) through silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1)/forkhead transcription factor O1 (FOXO1) signaling pathway, SD juvenile male rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, miR-409-3p antagomir group, miR-409-3p antagomir negative control group, EX527 (SIRT1 inhibitor, 1 μg/kg) group, and miR-409-3p antagomir+EX527 (1 μg/kg) group, 12 per group. The expression of miR-409-3p in rat myocardium was detected by qRT-PCR; ELISA was performed to detect levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), TNF-α, IL-17, IL-18 in serum. The result showed that compared with the model group and the miR-409-3p antagomir+EX527 group, the pathological injuries in myocardial tissue of the miR-409-3p antagomir group were alleviated, the serum CK-MB, cTnI, cTnT, TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-18 levels, myocardial acely-FOXO1/FOXO1 were decreased (P<0.05), the cardiac function indexes the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), and the expression of SIRT1 in myocardial tissue were increased (P<0.05); the pathological injuries in myocardial tissue of the EX527 group were aggravated, the serum CK-MB, cTnI, cTnT, TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-18 levels, myocardial acely-FOXO1/FOXO1 were increased (P<0.05), the cardiac function indexes LVEF and LVFS, and the expression of SIRT1 in myocardial tissue were decreased (P<0.05). miR-409-3p was able to target down-regulation of SIRT1 expression in rat cardiomyocytes. The study suggests that miR-409-3p can target down-regulate SIRT1 expression to participate in the process of myocardial injury in KD young rats. Down-regulation of miR-409-3p expression can play an anti-inflammatory effect by activating SIRT1/FOXO1 signal, thereby reducing myocardial injury in KD young rats.
