Why the study?
Whether circ_0091822 mediates vascular smooth muscle cells function to regulate atherosclerosis process is unclear.
Does circ_0091822 knockdown prevent ox-LDL-induced proliferation, invasion, and migration in vascular smooth muscle cells?
Population
Vascular smooth muscle cells treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein and serum from atherosclerosis patients
Comparison
Circ_0091822 knockdown vs control under ox-LDL treatment
Design
Preclinical cell model study
Key result
Circ_0091822 knockdown inhibited ox-LDL-induced vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, invasion, and migration by modulating the miR-339-5p/BOP1/Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Hypothesis-generating in ox-LDL VSMC models; leaves open circ_0091822 as atherosclerosis target pending in vivo data.
Does circ_0091822 knockdown prevent ox-LDL-induced proliferation, invasion, and migration in vascular smooth muscle cells?
Circ_0091822 facilitates ox-LDL-induced VSMC proliferation, invasion, and migration, highlighting it as a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.
Sun et al. (2023) studied Atherosclerosis. circ_0091822 knockdown vs. Control was evaluated on Vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Circ_0091822 knockdown inhibited ox-LDL-induced vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, invasion, and migration by modulating the miR-339-5p/BOP1/Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
