The effects of Malva sylvestris L. on circular RNA expression. (A) cirRNA expression profiles in I/R rat model with or without MS pre-treatment. (B) qPCR was performed to measure the expression of circ_003593 in H9c2 cells after OGD/Re treatment. (C) circ_003593 was knocked down by shRNA transfection. (D) CCK-8 was performed to determine the cell viability in H9c2 cells after indicated treatment. (E) Flow cytometry was performed to determine the apoptotic cell in H9c2 cells after indicated treatment. (F) Western blot was performed to determine the expression of NLRP3, ASC, and cleaved caspase 1 in H9c2 cells after indicated treatment. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001. MS, Malva sylvestris L.; NS, normal saline; I/R, ischemia-reperfusion; KD, knockdown; OGD/Re, oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation; ASC, adapter apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a C-terminal caspase recruitment domain.
