Cardiac conduction regulatory RNA(CCRR)has been documented as an antiarrhythmic IncRNA in our earlier investigation.This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CCRR on SERCA2a and the associated Ca2+homeostasis in myocardial infarction(MI).Overexpression of CCRR via AAV9-mediated delivery not only partially reversed ischemia-induced contractile dysfunction but also alleviated abnormal Ca2+homeostasis and reduced the heightened methylation level of SERCA2a following MI.These effects were also observed in CCRR over-expressing transgenic mice.A conserved sequence domain of CCRR mimicked the protective function observed with the full length.Furthermore,silencing CCRR in healthy mice led to intracellular Ca2+overloading of cardiomyocytes.CCRR increased SERCA2a protein stability by upregulating FTO expression.The direct interaction between CCRR and FTO protein was characterized by RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation(RIP)analysis and RNA pulldown experiments.Activation of NFATc3 was identified as an upstream mechanism responsible for CCRR downregulation in MI.This study demonstrates that CCRR is a protective IncRNA that acts by maintaining the function of FTO,thereby reducing the m6A RNA methylation level of SERCA2a,ultimately preserving calcium homeostasis for myocardial contractile function in MI.Therefore,CCRR may be considered a promising therapeutic strategy with a beneficial role in cardiac pathology.
