Abstract: Abstract Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the most common vascular access points for hemodialysis (HD), but they have a high incidence of postoperative dysfunction, mainly due to excessive neointimal hyperplasia (NIH). Our previous studies have revealed a highly conserved LncRNA-LncDACH1 as an important regulator of cardiomyocyte and fibroblast proliferation. Herein, we find that LncDACH1 regulates NIH in AVF in male mice with conditional knockout of smooth muscle cell-specific LncDACH1 and in male mice model of AVF with LncDACH1 overexpression by adeno-associated virus. Mechanistically, silence of LncDACH1 activates p-AKT through promoting the expression of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and serine/arginine-rich splicing factor protein kinase 1 (SRPK1). Moreover, LncDACH1 is transcriptionally activated by transcription factor KLF9 that binds directly to the promoter region of the LncDACH1 gene. In this work, during AVF NIH, LncDACH1 is downregulated by KLF9 and promotes NIH through the HSP90/ SRPK1/ AKT signaling axis.
