“…Various CirRNAs such as Circ_35953, Circ_HIPK3, Circ_0114427, CIRC_0114428, Circ_0001714, circ_0020339, Circ_RASGEF1B, Circ_0114428, circ-FANCA, CircNRIP1, circ0001818, and Circ_0001806 [ 16 , 23 , 25 – 34 ] have been implicated in LPS-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis. Conversely, others such as CircITCH, CircVMA21, CIRC_0008882, and Circ_0091702 [ 35 – 38 ] exhibit an opposing role. In our present study, we highlight the antiapoptotic role of mmu_Circ_26986, substantiated by both overexpression and knockdown experiments (Figs.…”
