Circular RNA circ_0090231 promotes atherosclerosis in vitro by enhancing NLR family pyrin domain containing 3-mediated pyroptosis of endothelial cells
Atherosclerosis (AS) is an inflammatory disease caused by multiple factors. Multiple circRNAs are involved in the development of AS. The present study focusses on delineating the role of circ_0090231 in AS. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox...

Atherosclerosis (AS) is an inflammatory disease caused by multiple factors. Multiple circRNAs are involved in the development of AS. The present study focusses on delineating the role of circ_0090231 in AS. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to construct an in vitro AS model. Real-time quantitative polymerase-chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the levels of circ_0090231, IL-1β, and IL-18 transcripts. CircRNA/target gene interactions were predicted using StarBase and TargetScan and confirmed using an RNA pull-down assay and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Further, 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(−2)-3,5-diphenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays were performed to evaluate cell viability and damage in the AS model, respectively. Cell pyroptosis and protein expression were determined using flow cytometry and western blotting respectively. The treatment of HAECs with ox-LDL not only led to significant increase in the levels of circ_0090231 but also resulted in improved cell viability as well as reduced cell injury and pyroptosis as compared to that in non-treated cells.
