Knockdown of circular RNA hsa_circ_0003204 inhibits oxidative stress and apoptosis through the miR-330-5p/Nod2 axis to ameliorate endothelial cell injury induced by low-density lipoprotein

INTRODUCTION: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Circular RNA hsa_circ_0003204 (hsa_circ_0003204) was elevated in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells. However, the role and molecular mechanism of hsa_circ_0003204...

description INTRODUCTION: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Circular RNA hsa_circ_0003204 (hsa_circ_0003204) was elevated in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells. However, the role and molecular mechanism of hsa_circ_0003204 in the AS process have not been studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Human primary aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were treated with low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to establish the AS model. The viability of ox-LDL-induced HAECs was assessed by counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in ox-LDL-induced HAECs supernatant were evaluated with the relevant kits. The apoptosis of ox-LDL-induced HAECs was determined via flow cytometry assay. The expression of hsa_circ_0003204, miR-330-5p, and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (Nod2) was analyzed through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relationship between hsa_circ_0003204 or Nod2 and miR-330-5p was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Protein level of Nod2 was detected using western blot analysis. RESULTS: Hsa_circ_0003204 and Nod2 were upregulated while miR-330-5p was decreased in ox-LDL-induced HAECs. Hsa_circ_0003204 depletion restrained the oxidative stress and apoptosis of ox-LDL-induced HAECs. Notably, hsa_circ_0003204 regulated Nod2 expression via sponging miR-330-5p in HAECs. Moreover, miR-330-5p inhibition restored the constraint of the oxidative stress and apoptosis of ox-LDL-induced HAECs caused by hsa_circ_0003204 silencing. Additionally, miR-330-5p targeted Nod2 and Nod2 enhancement abolished the repressive effects of miR-330-5p overexpression on the oxidative stress and apoptosis of ox-LDL-induced HAECs. CONCLUSIONS: Hsa_circ_0003204 exhaustion mitigated endothelial cell injury through suppressing the oxidative stress and apoptosis in ox-LDL-induced HAECs via the miR-330-5p/Nod2 axis.
