Our findings establish circ_0002945 as a crucial regulator of Abeta-induced neuron apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress and uncover a novel circ_0002945/miR-431-5p/TNFAIP1 ceRNA network for the Abeta pathogenic pathway in AD.
Circ_0002945 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to promote Abeta(25-35)-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in SK-N-SH cells and human primary neurons.
