Description: |
early life stress induces increased expression of circKcnk9 in the CA1 of IBS-like rats. Increased circKcnk9 expression regulates synaptic transmission and enhances LTP, leading to visceral hypersensitivity and anxiety in IBS-like rats. The underlying circKcnk9 signaling pathway is miR124-3p/EZH2. Increased circKcnk9 reinforces its sponging of miR124-3p and strongly suppresses miR124-3p activity, resulting in increased expression of the target gene EZH2. |
