A Novel Circular RNA Mediates Pyroptosis of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy by Functioning as a Competing Endogenous RNA

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a vital cause of fatalities in diabetic patients. The programmed death of cardiomyocytes and inflammation critically contribute to cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in DCM. Furthermore, circular RNA (circRNA) is a key regulator of various diseases. However, the role of circRNAs in DCM remains to be elucidated. Our previous study found that pyroptosis was markedly activated in the cardiomyocytes subjected to...
