Background:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been recognized as significant regulators of pulmonary hypertension (PH); however,the differential expression and function of circRNAs in different vascular cells under hypoxia remain unknown.Here,we identi-fied co-differentially expressed circRNAs and determined their putative roles in the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs),pulmonary micro-vascular endothelial cells (PMECs),and pericytes (PCs) under hypoxia.Methods:Whole transcriptome sequencing was performed to analyze the differential expression of circRNAs in three different vascular cell types.Bioinformatic analysis was used to predict their putative biological function.Quantitative real-time polymer-ase chain reaction,Cell Counting Kit-8,and EdU Cell Proliferation assays were carried out to determine the role of circular postmeiotic segregation 1 (circPMS1) as well as its potential sponge mechanism in PASMCs,PMECs,and PCs.Results:PASMCs,PMECs,and PCs exhibited 16,99,and 31 differentially expressed circRNAs under hypoxia,respectively.CircPMS1 was upregulated in PASMCs,PMECs,and PCs under hypoxia and enhanced the proliferation of vascular cells.CircPMS1 may upregulate DEP domain containing 1 (DEPDC1) and RNA polymerase Ⅱ subunit D expression by targeting microRNA-432-5p (miR-432-5p) in PASMCs,upregulate MAX interactor 1 (MXI1) expression by targeting miR-433-3p in PMECs,and upregulate zinc finger AN1-type containing 5 (ZFAND5) expression by targeting miR-3613-5p in PCs.Conclusions:Our results suggest that circPMS1 promotes cell proliferation through the miR-432-5p/DEPDC1 or miR-432-5p/POL2D axis in PASMCs,through the miR-433-3p/MXI1 axis in PMECs,and through the miR-3613-5p/ZFAND5 axis in PCs,which provides putative targets for the early diagnosis and treatment of PH.
