Urinary exosomes derived circRNAs as biomarkers for chronic renal fibrosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic renal disease (CKD) is a common and irreversible loss of renal function. Renal fibrosis reflected the degree of renal dysfunction. However, the current biomarkers only characterize the renal function instead of indicating the fibrosis degree. The potential diagnostic value of urinary exosomes derived circRNAs for renal fibrosis needs to be further studied.

Methods

Urine exosomes from 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients without renal fibrosis and 3 renal fibrotic patients were collected and human circRNAs microarray analysis were performed to detect the circRNAs expression profile. 110 biopsy-proven CKD patients and 54 healthy controls were enrolled and urine exosomes derived RNA was isolated. The expression of hsa_circ_0036649 was measured and the corr
