Circulating exosomal circRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for chronic coronary syndrome

ABSTRACT: Background: Circular RNA (circRNA) has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD), however, it is unclear whether circRNA carried by exosomes (exos) can be used as biomarkers for chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of exosomal circRNAs in the plasma of CCS patients, and to screen exo-circRNAs that can act as biomarkers for the diagnosis of CCS. Methods: High-throughput sequencing technology was carried out in the plasma exosomal RNA of 15 CCS patients and 15 non-cardiac chest pain patients (NCCP, control group) (sequencing cohort) to screen for differentially expressed circRNAs. Selected differentially expressed exo-circRNAs were further verified by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in a small-sample cohort (derivation cohort) and a large-sample cohort (validation cohort). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of exo-circRNAs for CCS patients. Results: By high-throughput sequencing of circRNAs in 15 CCS patients and 15 NCCP patients, 276 circRNAs differentially expressed in plasma exosomes of CCS patients were screened by using |log2(Fold change) |>1 and q-value<0.001, and 103 were up-regulated and 173 were down-regulated. Among the 103 up-regulated circRNAs, 5 circRNAs with high expression levels and significantly increased in plasma exosomes of CCS patients were selected for validation. Twice RT-PCR validation demonstrated that exo-hsa_circ_0075269 and exo-hsa_circ_0000284 were significantly up-regulated in patients with CCS (P<0.001). Circulating exo-hsa_circ_0075269 and exo-hsa_circ_0000284 yielded the area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.761 (P<0.001, 95%CI=0.669, 0.852) and 0.623 (P=0.015, 95%CI=0.522, 0.724) for CCS, respectively by ROC curve analysis. Moreover, AUC of hsa_circ_0075269 combined with hsa_circ_0000284 for diagnosing CCS was 0.741 (P<0.001, 95%CI=0.667, 0.850). Conclusion: The expression profile of circRNA in plasma exosomes of patients with CCS was significantly different from that of the control group. Plasma exo-hsa_circ_0075269 and exo-hsa_circ_0000284 have the potential to be new biomarkers for CCS diagnosis.

Project description:Purpose: This study aimed to explore the differential expression profiles of exosomal lncRNAs and evaluated their potential utility in the accurate diagnosis of LAA stroke. Methods: LncRNA profiles of exosomes in large artery atherosclerosis stroke and controls were generated by high-throughput sequencing. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with Hisat2, Trapnell, STAR. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: A total of 1020 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified in LAA stroke patients. GO and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that their target genes are involved in atherosclerosis-related pathways, including inflammation, cell adhesion, and cell migration. 8 exosomal lncRNAs were confirmed with qRT–PCR.The result showed that the expression trend of differential expressed lncRNAs in validation was consistent with RNA-seq.Conclusion: Our study showed the differential expression of lncRNAs in plasma exosomes and presented related diagnostic potential for LAA stroke for the first time. The results suggested that exosomal lncRNA could be potential diagnostic tools in LAA stroke. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), novel endogenous noncoding RNAs, play diverse roles in ischemic stroke. Recently, the abundance and stability of circRNAs in exosomes have been identified. However, a comprehensive analysis of exosomal circRNAs in large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke has not yet been reported. We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to comprehensively identify differentially expressed exosomal circRNAs in five paired LAA and normal controls. RNA-Seq identified a total of 462 circRNAs in peripheral exosomes; there were 25 differentially expressed circRNAs among them. Additionally, circRNA competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and translatable analysis revealed the potential functions of the exosomal circRNAs in LAA progression. Two ceRNA pathways involving 5 circRNAs, 2 miRNAs, and 3 mRNAs were confirmed by qRT-PCR. In the validation cohort, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis identified two circRNAs as possible novel biomarkers, and a logistic model combining two and four circRNAs increased the area under the curve compared with the individual circRNAs.
