Circ-SIRT1 inhibits cardiac hypertrophy via activating SIRT1 to promote autophagy

Abstract Mounting studies have substantiated that abrogating autophagy contributes to cardiac hypertrophy (CH). Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) has been reported to support autophagy and inhibit CH. However, the upstream regulation mechanism behind the regulation of SIRT1 level in CH remains unclear. Circular RNA...
