Ischemic stroke (IS) is an essential contributor to the neurological morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The significance of circular RNA tousled-like kinase 1 (circTLK1) in IS has been documented. This study set out to explore the mechanism of circTLK1 in IS. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse models  in vivo  and oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) cell models  in vitro  were first established, followed by evaluation of infarct volume and neurological impairment, and cell viability and apoptosis. The expression patterns of circTLK1, miR-26a-5p, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1 R), and glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Co-localization of circTLK1 and miR-26a-5p in N2a cells was tested by fluorescence in situ hybridization assay. The binding relationships among circTLK1, PTEN, and miR-26a-5p were verified by dual-luciferase assay and RNA pull-down. circTLK1 and PTEN were highly expressed while miR-26a-5p was under-expressed in IS models. circTLK1 knockdown decreased infarct volume and neurological impairment in MCAO mouse models and relieved OGD/R-induced neuronal injury  in vitro . circTLK1 and miR-26a-5p were co-located in the N2a cell cytoplasm. circTLK1 regulated PTEN as a sponge of miR-26a-5p. PTEN positively regulated IGF-1 R and GLUT1 expressions. miR-26a-5p inhibitor annulled the repressive effects of circTLK1 silencing on OGD/R-induced neuronal injury. sh-PTEN partially annulled the effects of the miR-26a-5p inhibitor on OGD/R-induced neuronal injury. In conclusion, circTLK1 knockdown relieved IS via the miR-26a-5p/PTEN/IGF-1 R/GLUT1 axis. These results may provide a new direction to IS potential therapeutic targets.
