Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide in the human population. Currently, both noninvasive and invasive conventional diagnostic methods are used in cardiovascular diseases. Noninvasive techniques such as electrocardiogram are widely accepted; yet, it is hindered by poor sensitivity and specificity. On the other hand, invasive examinations such as coronary arteriography and intravascular ultrasound are not resolute enough during the early stages of cardiovascular pathological changes. Consequently, there is an urgent need to identify noninvasive biomarkers that are highly sensitive, specific, and effective for the early-stage diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Noncoding RNAs have recently emerged as a novel layer of gene regulation, and their expression is widely impaired in pathological conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. In this context, circRNAs are highly stable molecules that are easy detectable in liquid biopsies, thus providing as good candidate for clinical diagnosis. Within this section, we provide a state-of-the art review of the current identification of circRNAs as biomarkers in distinct cardiovascular pathological conditions.
心血管疾病是全球人类死亡的主要原因。目前,心血管疾病的诊断采用非侵入性和侵入性的传统诊断方法。心电图等非侵入性技术被广泛应用,但其敏感性和特异性较差。另一方面,冠状动脉造影和血管内超声等侵入性检查在心血管病理变化的早期阶段不够精准。因此,迫切需要鉴定出对心血管疾病早期诊断具有高敏感性、特异性和有效性的非侵入性生物标志物。非编码RNA最近作为一种新的基因调控层面出现,其表达在包括心血管疾病在内的病理状态下广泛受损。在这种情况下,环状RNA是高度稳定的分子,易于在液体活检中检测到,因此是临床诊断的良好候选者。在本节中,我们对目前将环状RNA鉴定为不同心血管病理状态下生物标志物的研究进行了综述。
