Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe diabetic complication disorder. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) actively participate in DN pathogenesis. In this report, we sought to define a new mechanism of circ_0003928 in regulating high glucose (HG)-induced HK-2 cells. METHODS To construct a DN cell model, we treated HK-2 cells with HG. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. The inflammatory cytokines were quantified by ELISA. Protein analysis was performed by immunoblotting, and mRNA expression was detected by quantitative PCR. The circ_0003928/miR-31-5p and miR-31-5p/MAPK6 relationships were validated by RNA pull-down and luciferase assays. RESULTS HG promoted HK-2 cell apoptosis, fibrosis and oxidative stress. Circ_0003928 and MAPK6 levels were enhanced and miR-31-5p level was decreased in HK-2 cells after HG treatment. Circ_0003928 disruption promoted cell growth and inhibited apoptosis, inflammatory response, fibrosis and oxidative stress in HG-induced HK-2 cells. Circ_0003928 targeted miR-31-5p, and MAPK6 was a target of miR-31-5p. Circ_0003928 regulated MAPK6 expression through miR-31-5p. The functions of circ_0003928 disruption in HG-induced HK-2 cells were reversed by miR-31-5p downregulation or MAPK6 upregulation. CONCLUSION Circ_0003928 exerts regulatory impacts on HG-induced apoptosis, inflammation, fibrosis and oxidative stress in human HK-2 cells by the miR-31-5p/MAPK6 axis.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non‑coding single‑stranded covalently closed RNA molecules that are considered important as regulators of gene expression at the transcriptional and post‑transcriptional levels. These molecules have been implicated in the initiation and progression of multiple human diseases, ranging from cancer to inflammatory and metabolic diseases, including diabetes mellitus and its vascular complications. The present article aimed to review the current knowledge on the biogenesis and functions of circRNAs, as well as their role in cell processes associated with diabetic nephropathy. In addition, novel potential interactions between circRNAs expressed in renal cells exposed to high‑glucose concentrations and the transcription factors c‑Jun and c‑Fos are reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibroblasts are necessary to the progression of cancer. However, the role of fibroblasts in peritoneal metastasis (PM) of gastric cancer (GC) remains elusive. In this study, we would explore the role of fibroblasts mediated cell interaction in PM of GC. METHODS Single-cell sequencing data from public database GSE183904 was used to explore the specific fibroblast cluster. Fibroblasts were extracted from PM and GC tissues. The expression level of CXCR7 was verified by western blot, immunohistochemistry. The role of CLDN11 was investigate through in vitro and in vivo study. Multiple immunohistochemistry was used to characterize the tumor microenvironment. RESULTS CXCR7-positive fibroblasts were significantly enriched in PM of GC. CXCR7 could promote the expression of CLDN11 through activation of the AKT pathway in fibroblasts. Fibroblasts promote the GC proliferation and peritoneal metastasis by secreting CLDN11 in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, it was revealed that CXCR7-positive fibroblasts were significantly associated with M2-type macrophages infiltration in tissues. CONCLUSION CXCR7-positive fibroblasts play an essential role in PM of GC via CLDN11. Therapy targeting CXCR7-positive fibroblasts or CLDN11 may be helpful in the treatment of GC with PM.

Circ_0068087 knockdown attenuates high-glucose-induced human tubular epithelial cell injury in a microribonucleic acid/progestin and adipoQ receptor 3-dependent manner in diabetic nephropathy. J Diabetes Investig 2024; 15:159-171.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Previous studies have shown that circular ribonucleic acid mediates the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to analyze the effects of circ_0068087 on high-glucose (HG)-induced human kidney 2 (HK2) cell dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Circ_0068087, miR-580-3p, and progestin and adipoQ receptor 3 (PAQR3) expression were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Cell viability and proliferation were investigated by Cell Counting Kit-8 and EdU assays, respectively. The cell apoptotic rate was assessed by flow cytometry. Inflammatory response was assessed by enzyme-linked immunoassays. Oxidative stress was evaluated by a superoxide dismutase activity assay kit and lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde assay kit. Molecular interaction was identified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS Circ_0068087 and PAQR3 expression were significantly upregulated in diabetic nephropathy patients. HG treatment inhibited HK2 cell proliferation, but induced cell apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress and epithelial-mesenchymal transition by regulating circ_0068087. Circ_0068087 acted as a microribonucleic acid-580-3p (miR-580-3p) sponge, and miR-580-3p targeted PAQR3. Furthermore, circ_0068087 depletion repressed PAQR3 expression through miR-580-3p. MiR-580-3p inhibitors or PAQR3 introduction attenuated circ_0068087 silencing mediated-effects in HG-treated HK2 cells. CONCLUSION Circ_0068087 promoted HG-induced HK2 cell injuries by the regulation of the miR-580-3p/PAQR3 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are significant contributors to various human malignancies. The aberrant expression of lncRNA LINC00894 has been reported in various human malignancies. We aimed to illustrate the role of LINC00894 and its underlying mechanism in the development of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). METHODS We performed bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed RNAs from TCGA and GEO datasets and selected the target lncRNA LINC00894. SRAMP analysis revealed abundant M6A modification sites in LINC00894. Further analysis of StarBase, GEPIA, and TCGA datasets was performed to identify the related differentially expressed genes METTL3. Colony formation and CCK-8 assays confirmed the relationship between LINC00894, METTL3, and the proliferative capacity of PTC cells. The analysis of AnnoLnc2, Starbase datasets, and meRIP-PCR and qRT‒PCR experiments confirmed the influence of METTL3-mediated m6A modification on LINC00894. The study employed KEGG enrichment analysis as well as Western blotting to investigate the impact of LINC00894 on the expression of proteins related to the Hippo signalling pathway. RESULTS LINC00894 downregulation was detected in PTC tissues and cells and was even further downregulated in PTC with lymphatic metastasis. LINC00894 inhibits the lymphangiogenesis of vascular endothelial cells and the proliferation of cancer cells. METTL3 enhances PTC progression by upregulating LINC00894 by enhancing LINC00894 mRNA stability through the m6A-YTHDC2-dependent pathway. LINC00894 may inhibit PTC malignant phenotypes through the Hippo signalling pathway. CONCLUSION The METTL3-YTHDC2 axis stabilizes LINC00894 mRNA in an m6A-dependent manner and subsequently inhibits tumour malignancy through the Hippo signalling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the complications of diabetes and has a high mortality, but its specific pathogenesis is not clear. In recent years, researches on the mechanism of circRNAs in DN have been proved a lot, whereas the functional mechanism of circ_0003928 in DN remains open and it must be investigated to value its important role in DN prevention. METHODS HK-2 cells were treated with high glucose (HG), normal glucose (NG) or Mannitol. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays were performed to detect cell proliferation. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to analyze malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD) levels. Flow cytometry and western blot were preformed to measure cell apoptosis. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to test the levels of circ_0003928, miR-136-5p and progestin and adipoQ receptor family member 3 (PAQR3) mRNA. Western blot was executed to detect Bcl2 associated X (Bax), B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (Bcl2), smooth muscle (αSMA), apolipoprotein (C-IV) and PAQR3 levels. Luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay were used to analyze the target relationship between miR-136-5p and circ_0003928 or PAQR3. RESULTS Circ_0003928 and PAQR3 expression were up-regulated, whereas miR-136-5p was decreased in DN serum and HG-induced HK-2 cells. Circ_0003928 knockdown promoted cell proliferation, and inhibit cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, and fibrosis in HK-2 cells under HG condition. MiR-136-5p silencing overturned the protective effects of si-circ_0003928 on HG-induced HK-2 cells. MiR-136-5p was targeted by circ_0003928 and directly targeted PAQR3. Overexpression of PAQR3 counteracted the inhibitory functions of circ_0003928 knockdown or miR-136-5p overexpression on HG-induced HK-2 cell injury. CONCLUSION Circ_0003928 acted as a sponge of miR-136-5p to up-regulating PAQR3 expression, and then regulate the proliferation, oxidative stress, fibrosis and apoptosis in HG-induced HK-2 cells.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common microangiopathy in diabetic patients and the main cause of death in diabetic patients. The main manifestations of DKD are proteinuria and decreased renal filtration capacity. The glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin level are two of the most important hallmarks of the progression of DKD. The classical treatment of DKD is controlling blood glucose and blood pressure. However, the commonly used clinical therapeutic strategies and the existing biomarkers only partially slow the progression of DKD and roughly predict disease progression. Therefore, novel therapeutic methods, targets and biomarkers are urgently needed to meet clinical requirements. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the role of epigenetic modification in the pathogenesis of DKD. Epigenetic variation mainly includes DNA methylation, histone modification and changes in the noncoding RNA expression profile, which are deeply involved in DKD-related inflammation, oxidative stress, hemodynamics, and the activation of abnormal signaling pathways. Since DKD is reversible at certain disease stages, it is valuable to identify abnormal epigenetic modifications as early diagnosis and treatment targets to prevent the progression of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Because the current understanding of the epigenetic mechanism of DKD is not comprehensive, the purpose of this review is to summarize the role of epigenetic modification in the occurrence and development of DKD and evaluate the value of epigenetic therapies in DKD.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DKD) is the most common chronic microvascular complication of diabetes. About 20%-40% of diabetics develop DKD, which eventually leads to chronic kidney failure. Although progress has been made in diagnosis and treatment tools, diabetic nephropathy is still a major clinical problem. In recent years, circular RNA (CircRNA) has become a research hotspot. CircRNA is a non-coding RNA formed by covalently closing the 5 'and 3' ends of the precursor RNA. CircRNA has powerful biological functions. CircRNA can regulate the expression of target genes through competitive binding with microRNA, thus playing the biological role of endogenous RNA (CeRNA). Many studies have shown that circRNAs plays an important role in malignant tumors, autoimmune system diseases, coronary heart disease and other diseases. More and more studies have shown that it can also be used as a biomarker of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. This review summarizes the origin, classification, biogenesis and regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs. In addition, the pathogenesis and clinical significance of circRNAs as competing endogenous RNAs involved in diabetic nephropathy were also introduced. This will help us fully understand the pathological mechanism of diabetic nephropathy and develop new therapeutic targets or treatment options to improve the prognosis of patients with diabetic nephropathy.
