Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a group of covalently closed, endogenous, non-coding RNAs, which exist widely in human tissues including the heart. Increasing evidence has shown that cardiac circRNAs play crucial regulatory roles in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In this review, we aimed to provide a systemic understanding of circRNAs with a special emphasis on the cardiovascular system. We have summarized the current research on the classification, biogenesis and properties of circRNAs as well as their participation in the pathogenesis of CVDs. CircRNAs are conserved, stable and have specific spatiotemporal expression; thus, they have been accepted as a potential diagnostic marker or an incremental prognostic biomarker for CVDs. 相似文献

环状RNA(circular RNAs,circRNAs)是一类共价闭合环状非编码RNA,具有进化上保守、结构上稳定、组织特异性表达等特点。CircRNAs可作为miRNAs海绵影响其对基因的调控,还可与RNA结合蛋白(RNA binding proteins,RBPs)相互作用,也有研究表明某些circRNAs还具有被翻译成蛋白质的潜能。CircRNAs已被证实对某些疾病具有特异性、稳定性和调节功能,如癌症、糖尿病、心血管疾病、神经退行性疾病等,其可作为潜在的诊断、预后生物标志物和治疗靶点。最近,有研究发现circRNAs参与了环境化学污染物诱导的毒性效应发生及发展的过程。目前,生态毒理学研究中评价环境化学污染物和毒效应之间关系的毒性终点通常会受遗传多态性和表观遗传学影响,考虑到经环境化学污染物暴露后生物体内circRNAs差异性表达的现象,或许在生态毒理学研究中circRNAs也有作为生物标志物的可能性。基于此,对circRNAs的生物合成与降解、生物学功能、分析方法及其目前在生态毒理学研究中的应用展开综述,并对其作为分子生物标志物在环境污染物暴露早期诊断和生态风险评价中的应用进行了展望,以期为生态毒理学研究和环境风险评价提供参考。 相似文献

环状RNA(circular RNA,circRNA)是一类闭合环状的内源RNA分子,广泛存在于不同物种及多种人体细胞中,具有丰富性、稳定性和组织特异性等特点。人体细胞中的circRNA主要可分为外显子circRNA、环状内含子RNA和外显子-内含子circRNA等。与正常组织相比,circRNA在多种肿瘤组织中异常表达,并具有作为微小RNA(microRNA,miRNA)海绵调控miRNA、结合蛋白质、参与翻译等功能。虽然circRNA在肿瘤中异常表达的具体机制尚不明确,但其在食管鳞状细胞癌、胃癌、结直肠癌、肝细胞癌、神经胶质瘤等多种肿瘤发生、发展的分子通路中具有重要作用,并有望成为全新的肿瘤标志物和治疗靶点。circRNA领域的发展日新月异,本文根据最新研究报道,就circRNA的基本特征、异常表达机制、调控肿瘤的机制及其在多种肿瘤中发挥的作用作一综述。 相似文献

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe disease with sudden onset, rapid progression, poor treatment response, and high mortality. An increasing number of studies had found that circular RNAs (circRNAs) has significant functions in various diseases, while the role of circRNAs in ALI is not yet clear. The purpose of this study was to find circRNAs related to ALI and their mechanism of action. Expression profiles of lung circRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were analyzed by microarray in the ALI mice models and healthy controlled mice. Differentially expressed RNAs were identified, function and pathways were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis. Moreover, the results of the microarray were verified by real-time PCR. We identified 2262 differentially expressed mRNAs and 581 circRNAs between ALI mice and control. Validation of candidate circRNAs by real-time PCR indicates that the majority of circRNAs identified by microarray are reliable and worthy of further study. ALI induced circRNAs primarily function in the metabolic regulatory process. Moreover, differentially expressed circRNAs were mainly involved in signaling pathways of mitogen-activated protein kinases, focal adhesion, FoxO, neurotrophin, and Wnt. In addition, a competitive endogenous RNA network was constructed to further interpret the molecular mechanism of ALI. This study observed significantly changed circRNAs profiles in LPS-induced mouse model and revealed a potential role of circRNAs in ALI. 相似文献

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs, generated from pre-mRNAs by circular splicing of exons and functionally largely uncharacterized. Here we report on the design, expression, and characterization of artificial circRNAs that act as protein sponges, specifically binding and functionally inactivating hnRNP (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein) L. HnRNP L regulates alternative splicing, depending on short CA-rich RNA elements. We demonstrate that designer hnRNP L-sponge circRNAs with CA-repeat or CA-rich sequence clusters can efficiently and specifically modulate splicing-regulatory networks in mammalian cells, including alternative splicing patterns and the cellular distribution of a splicing factor. This new strategy can in principle be applied to any RNA-binding protein, opening up new therapeutic strategies in molecular medicine. 相似文献

With accumulating dysregulated circular RNAs(circRNAs) in pathological processes,the regulatory functions of circRNAs, especially circRNAs as microRNA(miRNA) sponges and their interactions with RNA-binding proteins(RBPs), have been widely validated. However, the collected information on experimentally validated circRNA–disease associations is only preliminary.Therefore, an updated CircR2Disease database providing a comprehensive resource and web tool to clarify the relationships between circRNAs... 相似文献

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a distinctive family of ncRNAs, and they function as key regulators in the initiation, development and progression of various diseases. However, the regulatory roles of circRNAs in the tumorigenesis of cervical cancer (CC) have not been fully understood. In this study, we identified a set of circRNAs in CC and paired normal tissues, using RNA sequencing data, and found that the cancer and normal tissues could be told apart by those differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs, indicating that circRNA expression profiles in CC were significantly different from those in the normal tissues. Meanwhile, the upregulated genes in CC were enriched in inflammation-related pathways, and the correlation analysis between the DE circRNAs and genes revealed that the abundance of DE circRNAs was positively related to the expression of their host genes. However, the expression of TGFBR2 and KDM4C were found to exhibit a negative correlation with their corresponding circRNAs. Furthermore, we also predicted the interactions between circRNAs and proteins, and constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Specifically, hsa_circ_0001495 was predicted to interact with ESRP2, and acted as a sponge by competing for miRNAs with TBL1XR1. Functionally, hsa_circ_0001495 was predicted to regulate epithelial cell proliferation and NOTCH signaling via ESRP2 and TBL1XR1, respectively. We also evaluated the prognostic values of downstream target genes of selected circRNAs, using clinical records of CC patients. In summary, the present study provided some regulatory circRNAs involved in CC tumorigenesis based on bioinformatics approaches, which brought strong evidences for researchers to further explore their biological and clinical values. 相似文献

Increasing evidences suggest that circular RNAs (circRNAs) exert crucial functions in regulating gene expression. In this study, we perform RNA‐seq and identify 6,154 distinct circRNAs from human bladder cancer and normal bladder tissues. We find that hundreds of circRNAs are significantly dysregulated in human bladder cancer tissues. We further show that circHIPK3, also named bladder cancer‐related circular RNA‐2 (BCRC‐2), is significantly down‐regulated in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines, and negatively correlates with bladder cancer grade, invasion as well as lymph node metastasis, respectively. Over‐expression of circHIPK3 effectively inhibits migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of bladder cancer cells in vitro and suppresses bladder cancer growth and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistic studies reveal that circHIPK3 contains two critical binding sites for the microRNA miR‐558 and can abundantly sponge miR‐558 to suppress the expression of heparanase (HPSE). Taken together, our findings provide evidence that circRNAs act as “microRNA sponges”, and suggest a new therapeutic target for the treatment of bladder cancer. 相似文献
