N2 - Cardiac ischemia is associated with arrhythmias; however, effective therapies are currently limited. The cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel α subunit (SCN5A), encoding the Nav1.5 current, plays a key role in the cardiac electrical conduction and arrhythmic risk. Here, we show that hypoxia reduces Nav1.5 through effects on a miR, miR-448. miR-448 expression is increased in ischemic cardiomyopathy. miR-448 has a conserved binding site in 3′-UTR of SCN5A. miR-448 binding to this site suppressed SCN5A expression and sodium currents. Hypoxia-induced HIF-1α and NF-κB were major transcriptional regulators for MIR448. Moreover, hypoxia relieved MIR448 transcriptional suppression by RE1 silencing transcription factor. Therefore, miR-448 inhibition reduced arrhythmic risk after myocardial infarction. Here, we show that ischemia drove miR-448 expression, reduced Nav1.5 current, and increased arrhythmic risk. Arrhythmic risk was improved by preventing Nav1.5 downregulation, suggesting a new approach to antiarrhythmic therapy.
