Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: Cell models of ischemic stroke were constructed in human BEMCs (HBMECs) with the treatment of oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and western blotting were conducted for expression analysis of circFKBP3, miR-766-3p and TNF receptor associated factor 3 ( TRAF3). CCK-8, transwell, wound healing, flow cytometry, tube formation and ELISA assays were implemented to monitor cell viability, migration, apoptosis, angiogenesis and inflammation production. The putative binding relationship between miR-766-3p and circFKBP3 or TRAF3 was validated by dual- luciferase, RIP and pull-down assays. RESULTS: CircFKBP3 expression was elevated in OGD-treated HBMECs. OGD suppressed HBMEC viability, migration, angiogenesis, and provoked cell apoptosis and inflammation production, while knockdown of circFKBP3 attenuated these effects. CircFKBP3 interacted with miR-766-3p, and circFKBP3 absence-repressed HBMEC function loss and inflammation were recovered by miR-766-3p inhibition. CircFKBP3 targeted miR-766-3p to regulate TRAF3 expression. MiR-766-3p enrichment-repressed HBMEC function loss and inflammation were recovered by TRAF3 overexpression. CONCLUSION: CircFKBP3 absence alleviated OGD-induced function loss and inflammatory responses of HBMECs via governing the miR-766-3p/ TRAF3 axis.
