This study investigated the potential of serum-derived exosomal circRNAs in the diagnosis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. High-throughput sequencing was used to detect circRNAs related to the disease, followed by bioinformatic and pathway analyzes. The validation results suggest that the identified exosomal circRNAs could serve as biomarkers for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis detection.
The patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis is poorly detected due to invasive and slow growth. Thus, early diagnosis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis is so important for patients. Circular RNAs are crucial types of the non-coding RNA. Recent studies have provided serum-derived exosomal circRNAs as potential biomarkers for detection of various diseases. The clinical importance of exosomal circRNAs in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis have never been explored before. Here, we investigated the serum-derived exosomal circRNAs in the diagnosis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Firstly, High-throughput Sequencing was performed using 9 hepatic alveolar echinococcosis and 9 control samples to detect hepatic alveolar echinococcosis related circRNAs. Afterwards, bioinformatic analyzes were performed to identify differentially expressed circRNAs and pathway analyzes were performed. Finally, validation of the determined circRNAs was performed using RT-PCR. The sequencing data indicated that 59 differentially expressed circRNAs; 31 up-regulated and 28 down-regulated circRNA in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis patients. The top 5 up-regulated and down-regulated circRNAs were selected for vali-dation by RT-qPCR assay. As a result of the verification, circRNAs that were significantly up-and down-regulated showed an expression profile consistent with the results obtained. Importantly, our findings suggested that identified exosomal circRNAs could be a potential biomarker for the detection of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis serum and may help to understand the pathogenesis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.
