Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, presents with increased prevalence and a higher degree of clinical severity in the world. Growing evidence has shown that ncRNAs are involved in the fibrotic process, which is thought to be the proegumenal cause of POAG. Here, we screened out a differentially expressed circRNA (named circHBEGF) in human trabecular meshwork cells (HTMCs) under oxidative stress, which is spliced from pre-HBEGF. circHBEGF promotes the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes (fibronectin and collagen I). Further studies revealed that circHBEGF could competitively bind to miR-646 as a miRNA sponge to regulate EGFR expression in HTMCs. Importantly, HBEGF can also activate EGF signaling pathways, through which can transcriptionally activate ECM genes in HTMCs. In summary, this study investigates the functions and molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress-induced circHBEGF in the regulation of ECM production in HTMCs through the miR646/EGFR pathway. These findings further elucidate the pathogenic mechanism and may identify novel targets for the molecular therapy of POAG.
