HG-induced cell damages in HRMCs were partly reversed by the silence of circ-ACTR2. A The expression of circ-ACTR2 was quantified using qRT-PCR in four groups of control, HG, HG + si-NC, HG + si-ACTR2 in HRMCs. B Cell viability detection was performed by CCK-8 assay. C Inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were determined by ELISA. D Cell proliferation analysis was performed by EdU assay. E The protein examination of collagen I and collagen IV was conducted by western blot. F, G SOD activity (F) and MDA level (G) were respectively measured using the corresponding kits. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
