Many studies have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are related to the occurrence of preeclampsia (PE). However, the role of circLRRK1 in the progression of PE is unclear. The identification and localization of circLRRK1 were verified by Actinomycin D (ActD) assay, Ribonuclease R (RNase R) digestion assay and subcellular localization assay. Moreover, the proliferation of trophoblast cells was detected by 3-(45)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-35-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) assay and colony formation assay. Furthermore, the migration and invasion of trophoblast cells were determined by wound healing assay and transwell assay. Meanwhile, Western blot (WB) analysis was used to examine the protein levels of migration markers and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway markers. In addition, the interaction between circLRRK1 and miR-223-3p was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay and biotin-labeled RNA pull-down assay. Our results showed that circLRRK1 was significantly highly expressed in PE patients. Silenced circLRRK1 could markedly enhance the proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells. Additionally, we found that circLRRK1 could target miR-223-3p. MiR-223-3p overexpression also promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells. The rescue experiments revealed that miR-223-3p inhibitor could reverse the promoting effect of circLRRK1 silencing on the proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells. Furthermore, circLRRK1 silencing could activate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by targeting miR-223-3p. CircLRRK1 could suppress the proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblast cells by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway via targeting miR-223-3p, suggesting that circLRRK1 might be a potential biomarker for the treatment of PE.

D015398	Signal Transduction	The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
