Circular RNA (circRNA), a novel type of non-coding RNA that consists of a circular loop, has been demonstrated to act as a "sponge" for microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the role of circRNAs in keloid remains unknown. In this study, we investigated circRNA expression profiles in keloid to identify potential diagnostic and therapeutic circRNAs. We performed a circRNA microarray assay to determine circRNA expression in keloid and paired normal skin tissues. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the expression levels of candidate circRNAs. The most significantly over-expressed circRNA was used to predict putative miRNA targets and the binding sites of miRNAs with this circRNA. Finally, we constructed a circRNA-miRNA interaction network and carried out gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. We found 52 significantly upregulated and 24 downregulated circRNAs in keloid compared with normal skin tissue. We confirmed that hsa_circ_0057452, hsa_circ_0007482, hsa_circ_0020792, hsa_circ_0057342, and hsa_circ_0043688 were significantly upregulated in keloid tissues. Analysis of the circRNA-miRNA interaction network revealed that circRNAs could interact with miRNAs, including miRNA-29a, miRNA-23a-5p and miRNA-1976. GO and KEGG analyses indicated that these target genes were involved in biological functions and signaling pathways that may play vital roles in the pathogenesis of keloid. This study revealed that circRNAs are potentially implicated in the development of keloid and could serve as novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
环状 RNA(circRNA)是一种新型的非编码 RNA,由环形环组成,已被证明可以作为 microRNAs(miRNAs)的“海绵”。然而,circRNA 在瘢痕疙瘩中的作用尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们研究了瘢痕疙瘩中的 circRNA 表达谱,以鉴定潜在的诊断和治疗用 circRNA。我们进行了 circRNA 微阵列分析,以确定瘢痕疙瘩和配对正常皮肤组织中的 circRNA 表达。定量逆转录聚合酶链反应用于评估候选 circRNA 的表达水平。使用最显著过表达的 circRNA 来预测潜在的 miRNA 靶标以及该 miRNA 与该 circRNA 的结合位点。最后,我们构建了 circRNA-miRNA 相互作用网络,并进行了基因本体论(GO)和京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)通路分析。与正常皮肤组织相比,我们发现瘢痕疙瘩中有 52 个明显上调和 24 个下调的 circRNA。我们证实 hsa_circ_0057452、hsa_circ_0007482、hsa_circ_0020792、hsa_circ_0057342 和 hsa_circ_0043688 在瘢痕疙瘩组织中明显上调。circRNA-miRNA 相互作用网络的分析表明,circRNA 可以与 miRNA 相互作用,包括 miRNA-29a、miRNA-23a-5p 和 miRNA-1976。GO 和 KEGG 分析表明,这些靶基因参与了可能在瘢痕疙瘩发病机制中起重要作用的生物学功能和信号通路。这项研究表明,circRNA 可能与瘢痕疙瘩的发展有关,并可能成为新的诊断和治疗靶标。
