Blocking circ_UBR4 suppressed proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression of human vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis
The circ_UBR4 (hsa_circ_0010283) is a novel abnormally overexpressed circRNA in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced model of atherosclerosis (AS) in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, its role in the dysfunction of VSMCs remains to be further investigated. Here, we at...

The circ_UBR4 (hsa_circ_0010283) is a novel abnormally overexpressed circRNA in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced model of atherosclerosis (AS) in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, its role in the dysfunction of VSMCs remains to be further investigated. Here, we attempted to explore its role in ox-LDL-induced excessive proliferation and migration in VSMCs by regulating Rho/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing kinase 1 (ROCK1), a therapeutic target of AS. Expression of circ_UBR4 and ROCK1 was upregulated, whereas miR-107 was downregulated in human AS serum and ox-LDL-induced VSMCs. Depletion of circ_UBR4 arrested cell cycle, suppressed cell viability, colony-forming ability, and migration ability, and depressed expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and matrix metalloproteinase 2 in VSMCs in spite of the opposite effects of ox-LDL.
