CircRNA expression pattern and ceRNA network in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening after total hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence has demonstrated that circular RNA (circRNA) exerts important function in the pathogenesis of some diseases. While, the contributions of circRNAs to aseptic loosening after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain largely unknown. Our research is to explore the differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) and elucidate complex regulated mechanism of circRNAs in aseptic loosening. The DEcircRNAs were identified by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was adopted to corroborate these DEcircRNAs. The potential function of circRNAs in aseptic loosening tissue was identified by competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) analysis. Enrichment analysis was performed for target mRNAs and host genes of the DEcircRNAs by Gene
