| Associated gene: |
PTEN |
| Associated microRNA: |
- |
| Biological function: |
protects cardiomyocytes from high glucose-induced apoptosis |
| Molecular mechanism: |
circHIPK3 negatively regulates PTEN expression (PTEN mRNA and protein), potentially by affecting PTEN transcription or PTEN mRNA stability |
| Biological pathway or process: |
apoptosis (inhibits); other pathway/process (other) |
| Detected method: |

RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Transfection; Annexin V/PI Flow Cytometry; Western Blot; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |

| Description: |
circHIPK3 is down-regulated in diabetic cardiomyopathy (and also decreased in diabetes). In AC16 cardiomyocytes under high glucose, circHIPK3 overexpression reduces PTEN mRNA/protein and suppresses high glucose-induced apoptosis, suggesting a protective role via negative regulation of PTEN. |
