Abstract

TMAO exposure for 24 hours inhibited cell proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

  • TMAO increased the expression of lncRNA-NEAT1, Clock, and Bmal1 while inhibiting MAPK pathways.
  • Elevated levels of Clock and Bmal1 were observed when MAPK pathways were blocked.
  • NEAT1 exhibited a circadian rhythm in HUVECs, and its overexpression led to reduced cell proliferation.
  • Manipulating NEAT1 levels influenced the expression of Clock and Bmal1, as well as the activity of MAPK pathways.
  • Asparagus extract improved the proliferation of HUVECs that was reduced by TMAO and corrected the disturbances in NEAT1, Clock, Bmal1, and MAPK signaling pathways.
