Kidney aging accelerates the progression of various acute and chronic kidney diseases and can also induce pathological changes in other organs throughout the body. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), have been demonstrated to play a vital role in aging and age-related diseases. However, biological functions and the underlying molecular mechanism of circRNAs in kidney aging remain largely unclear. Uncovering the functions of circRNAs in kidney aging and their underlying regulatory mechanisms may shed new light on the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for human aging. Here we report the important role of circVmn2r1 in the progression of kidney aging. We found that circVmn2r1 was one of the top expressed circRNAs in mouse kidney by RNA sequencing and was significantly upregulated in 24-month-old mouse kidney compared to 3-month-old. More importantly, we demonstrated that overexpression of circVmn2r1 promoted kidney aging in senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice. Cellular assays with mouse kidney tubular epithelium (TCMK-1) cells under both gain-of-function and loss-of-function conditions demonstrated that circVmn2r1 inhibited proliferation and promoted senescence, whereas miR-223-3p counteracted these effects. Mechanistic analysis demonstrated that circVmn2r1 acted as a miR-223-3p sponge to relieve the repressive effect of miR-223-3p on its target NLRP3, which we proved could inhibit proliferation and promote senescence of TCMK-1 cells. Our results indicate that circVmn2r1 promotes kidney aging through acting as a miR-223-3p sponge, consequently upregulating NLRP3 expression, and can be a valuable diagnostic marker and an important therapeutic target for kidney aging.
