CircHIPK3 Alleviates High Glucose Toxicity to Human Renal Tubular Epithelial HK-2 Cells Through Regulation of miR-326/miR-487a-3p/SIRT1.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe intervention of circular RNA HIPK3 (circHIPK3) in diabetes has drawn increasing attention in recent years. However, the underlying mechanism of circHIPK3 in diabetic nephropathy (DN) has not been fully elucidated. Thus, the current study aims to investigate the role of circHIPK3 in high glucose (HG)-induced toxicity to human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells.
methodsThe expression of circHIPK3 in HK-2 cells induced by HG was determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The regulatory effects of circHIPK3 and miR-326/miR-487a-3p on cells proliferative and apoptosis were evaluated by CCK-8 and flow cytometry. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to predict the target genes of miR-326 or miR-487a-3p.
resultsExpression level of circHIPK3 in HK-2 cells was remarkably decreased after the treatment of HG. The overexpression of circHIPK3 effectively reversed the HG-induced HK-2 cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis. Furthermore, SIRT1 was confirmed to be the target gene of miR-326 and miR-487a-3p, which were showed to be the downstream genes of circHIPK3. The silencing of miR-326 or miR-487a-3p was also proved to induce proliferation and reduce apoptosis in HG-induced HK-2 cells.
conclusionOur data suggest that overexpression of circHIPK3 can attenuate the proliferation inhibition of HK-2 induced by HG and inhibit apoptosis through sponging miR-326 or miR-487a-3p to regulate SIRT1.
