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...
