Abstract:

Objective

This study investigated the effect of acute hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude on the expression of hemoglobin and miR-144 in plasma in rats.

Methods

Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to a normoxic group and four hypoxic groups. Rats in hypoxic groups were exposed to simulated hypobaric hypoxia chamber equivalent to 7 000 meters for different durations (3, 7, 14 and 28 days). Subsequently, blood routine test and the expression of miR-144 in plasma were measured in each group.

Results

Compared with the normoxic group, the expression of miR-144, erythrocyte count and hemoglobin in four hypoxic groups increased significantly (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the expression of miR-144 in plasma was positively correlated with erythrocyte count and hemoglobin.

Conclusion

Acute hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude increased the expression of miR-144 in plasma and hemoglobin. It is predicted that miR-144 in plasma could induce polycythemia related to hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude. Regulations on miR-144 expression had a great value in clinical application.

Key words: High altitude, Hypobaric hypoxia, miR-144, Polycythemia
