CircFndc3b Mediates Exercise-Induced Neuroprotection by Mitigating Microglial/Macrophage Pyroptosis via the ENO1/KLF2 Axis in Stroke Mice.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
Circular RNA (circRNA) plays a pivotal role in regulating neurological damage post-ischemic stroke. Previous researches demonstrated that exercise mitigates neurological dysfunction after ischemic stroke, yet the specific contributions of circRNAs to exercise-induced neuroprotection remain unclear. This study reveals that mmu_circ_0001113 (circFndc3b) is markedly downregulated in the penumbral cortex of a mouse model subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). However, exercise increased circFndc3b expression in microglia/macrophages, alleviating pyroptosis, reducing infarct volume, and enhancing neurological recovery in MCAO mice. Mechanistically, circFndc3b interacted with Enolase 1 (ENO1), facilitating ENO1's binding to the 3' Untranslated Region (3'UTR) of Krüppel-like Factor 2 (Klf2) mRNA, thereby stabilizing Klf2 mRNA and increasing its protein expression, which suppressed NOD-like Receptor Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated microglial/macrophage pyroptosis. Additionally, circFndc3b enhanced ENO1's interaction with the 3'UTR of Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) mRNA, leading to increased FUS protein levels and promoting circFndc3b cyclization. These results suggest that circFndc3b mediates exercise-induced anti-pyroptotic effects via the ENO1/Klf2 axis, and a circFndc3b/ENO1/FUS positive feedback loop may potentiate exercise's neuroprotective effects. This study unveils a novel mechanism underlying exercise-induced neuroprotection in ischemic stroke and positions circFndc3b as a promising therapeutic target for stroke management, mimicking the beneficial effects of exercise.
