Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the role of circSlc8a1 in cardiac hypertrophy (CH), a pathological change in various cardiovascular diseases. METHODS An in vitro CH model was established using angiotensin II (AngII) treated H9c2 cells, followed by western blotting and RT-qPCR for detecting relative expressions. Cell viability and proliferation were analyzed using CCK-8 and EdU assays, while lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH), and iron levels were determined using corresponding kits. Moreover, dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays were performed to demonstrate whether miR-673-5p is bound to circSlc8a1 or transferrin receptor (TFRC). RESULTS The results indicated that the expressions of circSlc8a1 and TFRC were increased, while miR-673-5p was decreased in the AngII treated H9c2 cells. The ferroptosis inhibitor treatment decreased the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and β-major histocompatibility complex (β-MHC) protein expressions, and circSlc8a1 expressions. Knocking down of circSlc8a1 inhibited promoted the cell viability and proliferation, increased the GSH content, glutathione peroxidase 4, and solute carrier family 7 member 11 protein expressions, and decreased the LDH, ROS, iron levels, and RAS protein expressions. The MiR-673-5p inhibitor antagonized the role of si-circSlc8a1, and the over-expressed TFRC reversed the miR-673-5p mimicking effects in AngII treated H9c2 cells. CONCLUSION CircSlc8a1 promoted the ferroptosis in CH via regulating the miR-673-5p/TFRC axis.

Arterial cyclic stretch regulates Lamtor1 and promotes neointimal hyperplasia via circSlc8a1/miR-20a-5p axis in vein grafts. Am J Cancer Res 2022; 12:4851-4865.

Abstract
Rationale: Neointimal hyperplasia caused by dedifferentiation and proliferation of venous smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is the major challenge for restenosis after coronary artery bypass graft. Herein, we investigated the role of Lamtor1 in neointimal formation and the regulatory mechanism of non-coding RNA underlying this process. Methods: Using a "cuff" model, veins were grafted into arterial system and Lamtor1 expression which was correlated with the activation of mTORC1 signaling and dedifferentiation of SMCs, were measured by Western blot. Whole transcriptome deep sequencing (RNA-seq) of the grafted veins combined with bioinformatic analysis identified highly conserved circSlc8a1 and its interaction with miR-20a-5p, which may target Lamtor1. CircSlc8a1 was biochemically characterized by Sanger sequencing and resistant to RNase R digestion. The cytoplasmic location of circSlc8a1 was shown by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). RNA pull-down, luciferase assays and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) with Ago2 assays were used to identify the interaction circSlc8a1 with miR-20a-5p. Furthermore, arterial mechanical stretch (10% elongation) was applied in vitro. Results:In vivo, Lamtor1 was significantly enhanced in grafted vein and activated mTORC1 signaling to promote dedifferentiation of SMCs. Arterial mechanical stretch (10% elongation) induced circSlc8a1 expression and positively regulated Lamtor1, activated mTORC1 and promoted SMC dedifferentiation and proliferation. Local injection of circSlc8a1 siRNA or SMC-specific Lamtor1 knockout mice prevented neointimal hyperplasia in vein grafts in vivo. Conclusions: Our study reveals a novel mechanobiological mechanism underlying the dedifferentiation and proliferation of venous SMCs in neointimal hyperplasia. CircSlc81/miR-20a-5p/Lamtor1 axis induced by arterial cyclic stretch may be a potential clinical target that attenuates neointimal hyperplasia in grafted vessels.
