Transcriptomic Profiling of circRNAs in rat Hippocampus after Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest.

ABSTRACT: Neurologic abnormalities occurring after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) remain a significant concern. However, molecular mechanisms leading to DHCA-related cerebral injury are still ill-defined. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of covalently closed non-coding RNAs and can play important roles in different types of cerebral injury. This study aimed to investigate circRNAs expression profiles in rat hippocampus after DHCA and explore the potential functions of circRNAs in DHCA-related cerebral injury. Hence, the DHCA procedure in rats was established and a transcriptomic profiling of circRNAs in rat hippocampus was done. As a result, a total of 35192 circRNAs were identified. Among them, 339 circRNAs were dysregulated, including 194 down-regulated and 145 up-regulated between
