Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Dysregulation of covalently closed circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been associated with neurological disorders, the role of circHIVP2 in Parkinson's disease (PD) and its molecular mechanism is not well understood.
METHODS
127 patients with PD and 85 healthy people were enrolled. RT-qPCR was employed to examine the levels of circHIVEP2. ROC curve to explore the diagnostic. Mpp+ induced the SH-SY5Y to construct an in vitro PD cell model. Cell viability, apoptosis, and secretion levels of inflammatory factors were analyzed by CCK-8, flow cytometry, and ELISA assay. CircHIVEP2 targets miRNA predicted by bioinformatics database and validated by the dual luciferase reporter and RIP assays.
RESULTS
CircHIVEP2 was typically lower in PD patients than in controls. CircHIVEP2 has certain specificity and sensitivity to recognize PD patients from healthy individuals. miR-485-3p, a target miRNA of circHIVEP2, was significantly elevated in PD patients. Additionally, MPP+ induction reduced cell viability and promoted apoptosis and inflammatory factor overproduction. However, overexpression of circHIVEP2 significantly inhibited the effects of MPP+, but this inhibition was significantly attenuated by elevated miR-485-3p.
CONCLUSION
circHIVEP2 is a potential diagnostic biomarker for PD, and its upregulation mitigated MPP+-induced nerve damage and inflammation and this may be through targeted by the miR-485-3p.
