CircRNA ZNF609 in peripheral blood leukocytes acts as a protective factor and a potential biomarker for coronary artery disease

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to aberrantly express in coronary artery disease (CAD). Due to their special structures, circRNAs have the potential to be specific and stable markers. We conducted this study to explore circZNF609's function in atherosclerosis and to evaluate its pre...

Zusammenfassung:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to aberrantly express in coronary artery disease (CAD). Due to their special structures, circRNAs have the potential to be specific and stable markers. We conducted this study to explore circZNF609's function in atherosclerosis and to evaluate its predictive values for CAD. About 330 CAD patients and 209 controls were enrolled and the expression of circZNF609 in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) was detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Spearman correlation, multivariate regression, multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were performed. Moreover, circZNF609 was overexpressed in mice macrophage RAW264.7 to investigate its influence on inflammatory cytokines. Finally, bioinformatics analysis was executed to excavate the potential downstream pathway of circZNF609. The expression level of circZNF609 in PBLs of CAD patients was significantly decreased compared with the controls (the fold changes of 0.4133, P
