Oxidative stress and apoptosis play crucial roles in myocardial ischemia‒reperfusion injury (MIRI). In this study, we investigated the role of circ_0073932 in MIRI as well as its molecular mechanism. A hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) cardiomyocyte model was established with H9C2 cardiomyocytes, and RT-qPCR was used to measure gene expression. We observed that circ_0073932 expression was abnormally increased in the H/R cardiomyocyte model and in blood samples from MIRI patients. Inhibition of circ_0073932 suppressed H/R-induced cell apoptosis, oxidative stress (ROS, LDH and MDA), and p-JNK expression. Dual luciferase reporter assays showed that circ_0073932 targeted the downregulation of miR-493-3p, and miR-493-3p targeted the downregulation of FAF1. Furthermore, si-circ_0073932, an miR-493-3p inhibitor, oe-FAF1, or si-FAF1 were transfected into H9C2 cardiomyocytes to investigate the roles of these factors in MIRI. Our results showed that compared with the H/R group, si-circ_0073932 inhibited H/R-induced cell apoptosis, oxidative stress (ROS, LDH and MDA), and p-JNK expression. These results were reversed by the miR-493-3p inhibitor or oe-FAF1. Finally, a rat model of MIRI was established, and si-circ_0073932 was administered. Inhibition of circ_0073932 reduced the area of myocardial infarction and decreased the levels of apoptosis and oxidative stress by inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway. Our study indicated that circ_0073932 mediates MIRI via miR-493-3p/FAF1/JNK in vivo and in vitro, revealing novel insights into the pathogenesis of MIRI and providing a new target for the clinical treatment of MIRI.
