Increasing evidence has revealed a close relationship between non-coding RNAs and recurrent implantation failure (RIF). However, the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in RIF pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Microarray analyses were used to identify the differentially expressed circRNA-circSTK40. Functional experiments, including decidualization induction and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, were performed to determine the effects of circSTK40 on human endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). The interactions between circSTK40 and proteins were investigated by RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, and co-immunoprecipitation (coIP) assays. We observed that circSTK40 expression was upregulated in the RIF midluteal-phase endometrial samples. circSTK40 overexpression in ESCs inhibited the decidualization process but concurrently enhanced cell survival during stress. Mechanistically, circSTK40 directly bound to HSP90 and CLU, thus functioning as a scaffold to block their interactions and hinder the proteasomal degradation of HSP90. The resulting high levels of HSP90 led to the activation of the AKT pathway and downregulation of FOXO1 expression. Inhibitors of AKT (MK-2206) and HSP90 (17AAG) both abolished the effects of circSTK40 overexpression in ESCs and increased the decidualization levels in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings indicate a novel epigenetic mechanism for RIF pathogenesis involving circSTK40 activity and provide a foundation for targeted treatments in patients with low endometrial receptivity. We identified a novel upregulated circRNA (circSTK40) in midluteal-phase endometrium from recurrent implantation failure (RIF) patients, which impaired endometrial receptivity in RIF via modulating the HSP90/AKT/FOXO1 axis. Our findings indicate a novel epigenetic mechanism for RIF pathogenesis and provide a foundation for targeted treatments in patients with low endometrial receptivity.
