Key result
Downregulation of circ-CHFR inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ox-LDL-exposed human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells by acting as a miR-214-3p sponge to regulate PAPPA.
Population
Human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (HA-VSMCs) exposed to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)

circ-CHFR may promote atherosclerosis in VSMCs; leaves open clinical relevance without in vivo or human data.
The circ-CHFR/miR-214-3p/PAPPA axis regulates ox-LDL-induced proliferation, migration, and invasion in human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells, highlighting a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.
Lu et al. (2021) studied atherosclerosis. circ-CHFR downregulation vs. control was evaluated on Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Downregulation of circ-CHFR inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ox-LDL-exposed human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells by acting as a miR-214-3p sponge to regulate PAPPA.
