Abstract	Background Increasingly studies highlight the crucial role of the ancestral retrovirus envelope protein ERVWE1 in the pathogenic mechanisms of schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder affecting approximately 1% of the global population. Recent studies also underscore the significance of circular RNAs (circRNAs), crucial for neurogenesis and synaptogenesis, in maintaining neuronal functions. However, the precise relationship between ERVWE1 and circRNAs in the etiology of schizophrenia remains elusive. Results This study observed elevated levels of hsa_circ_0001810 (circ_0001810) in the blood samples of schizophrenia patients, displaying a significant positive correlation with ERVWE1 expression. Interestingly, in vivo studies demonstrated that ERVWE1 upregulated circ_0001810 in neuronal cells. Circ_0001810, acting as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA), bound to miR-1197 and facilitated the release of adenylate kinase 2 (AK2). The bioinformatics analysis of the schizophrenia datasets revealed increased levels of AK2 and enrichment of mitochondrial dynamics. Notably, miR-1197 was reduced in schizophrenia patients, while AK2 levels were increased. Additionally, AK2 showed positive correlations with ERVWE1 and circ_0001810. Further studies demonstrated that AK2 led to mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by loss of intracellular ATP, mitochondrial depolarization, and disruption of mitochondrial dynamics. Our comprehensive investigation suggested that ERVWE1 influenced ATP levels, promoted mitochondrial depolarization, and disrupted mitochondrial dynamics through the circ_0001810/AK2 pathway. Conclusions Circ_0001810 and AK2 were increased in schizophrenia and positively correlated with ERVWE1. Importantly, ERVWE1 triggered mitochondrial dysfunction through circ_0001810/miR-1197/AK2 pathway. Recent focus on the impact of mitochondrial dynamics on schizophrenia development had led to our discovery of a novel mechanism by which ERVWE1 contributed to the etiology of schizophrenia, particularly through mitochondrial dynamics. Moreover, these findings collectively proposed that circ_0001810 might serve as a potential blood-based biomarker for schizophrenia. Consistent with our previous theories, ERVWE1 is increasingly recognized as a promising therapeutic target for schizophrenia.
