    Abstract:
    Objective To explore the role and molecular mechanism of circ_0080425 in regulating the function of endothelial cells in hyperglycemic environment.
    Methods The expression difference of circ_0080425 in human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured with medium containing high glucose or normal medium was confirmed by qRT-PCR. Circ_0080425 was knockdown by siRNA transfection. The effects of circ_0080425 on the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of HUVECs under high glucose condition were investigated using CCK-8 assay, colony formation, Transwell and Flow cytometry. The Circinteractome was used to predict the downstream miRNAs of circ_0080425 and the TargetScanHuman 8.0 tool was used to predict the target genes of the miRNAs. The intermolecular interactions were verified by dual luciferase reporter assay. In addition, the target molecules were regulated by sponge virus as well as plasmid transfection, and the function was verified by CCK-8 assay, colony formation, Transwell and Flow cytometry.
    Results The expression of circ_0080425 was up-regulated in HUVECs under the condition of high glucose. Circ_0080425 can promote the proliferation, migration, and inhibit apoptosis of HUVECs under high glucose condition through miR-1182/FGF9 axis (P < 0.05).
    Conclusions  Circ_0080425 regulates the function of endothelial cells in hyperglycemic environment via miR-1182/FGF9 axis.
