Circular RNAs: typical biomarkers for bone-related diseases.

ABSTRACT: Bone is a connective tissue that has important functions in the human body. Cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) are key components of bone and are closely related to bone-related diseases. However, the outcomes of conventional treatments for bone-related diseases are not promising, and hence it is necessary to elucidate the exact regulatory mechanisms of bone-related diseases and identify novel biomarkers for diagnosis and therapy. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are single-stranded RNAs that form closed circular structures without a 5' cap or 3' tail and polycyclic adenylate tails. Due to their high stability, circRNAs have the potential to be typical biomarkers. Accumulating evidence suggests that circRNAs are involved in bone-related diseases, including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, osteosarcoma, multiple myeloma, intervertebral disc degeneration, and rheumatoid arthritis. Herein, we summarize the recent research progress on the characteristics and functions of circRNAs, and highlight the regulatory mechanism of circRNAs in bone-related diseases.

Project description:IntroductionInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) poses a growing global burden, necessitating the discovery of reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis. The clinical significance of dysregulated expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in diagnosing IBD has not been well established. Thus, our study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of lncRNAs and circRNAs for IBD based on currently available studies.MethodsA comprehensive search was carried out in diverse electronic databases, such as PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Science Direct and Wiley Online Library to retrieve articles published until October 30, 2023. Stata 17.0 software was employed to determine pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic ratio (DOR), and area under the curve (AUC). Heterogeneity, subgroup analysis, and meta-regression were explored, and publication bias was assessed using Deeks' funnel plot. Fagan's nomogram and likelihood ratio scattergram were employed to evaluate the clinical validity.ResultA total of 11 articles encompassing 21 studies which involved 1239 IBD patients and 985 healthy controls were investigated. The findings revealed lncRNAs exhibit high level of pooled sensitivity 0.94 (95% CI: 0.87-0.97) and specificity 0.99 (95% CI: 0.89-1.00), along with PLR, NLR, DOR, and AUC values of 64.25 (95% CI: 7.39-558.66), 0.06 (95% CI: 0.03-0.13), 1055.25 (95% CI: 70.61-15770.77), and 0.99 (95% CI: 0.97-0.99), respectively. Conversely, CircRNAs showed moderate accuracy in IBD diagnosis, with sensitivity of 0.68 (95% CI: 0.61-0.73), specificity of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.65-0.79), PLR of 2.47 (95% CI: 1.94-3.16), NLR of 0.45 (95% CI: 0.38-0.53), DOR of 5.54 (95% CI: 3.88-7.93), and AUC value of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.71-0.79). Moreover, findings from subgroup analysis depicted heightened diagnostic efficacy when employing lncRNA H19 and a large sample size (≥100), with notable efficacy in diagnosing both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).ConclusionLncRNAs exhibit high diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing patients with IBD from healthy controls signifying their possible use as potential biomarkers, while circRNAs showed moderate diagnostic accuracy. Nevertheless, to validate our findings and confirm the clinical utility of lncRNAs and circRNAs in IBD diagnosis, a large pool of prospective and multi-center studies should be undertaken.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023491840.
