ObjectiveGraves’ disease (GD) is the most common subtype of autoimmune thyroid disease which have the involvement of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the pathogenesis. However, it is largely unknown about the role of circRNAs in GD. In present study, we performed a comprehensive study of the circRNAs in GD by bioinformatics analyses.MethodsCircRNAs were detected in plasma of 3 newly diagnosed GD patients and 3 healthy controls. We selected 2 up-regulated and 1 down-regulated circRNAs with different expression in GD for validation by transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction in both GD and healthy control subjects. The GTRD base was used for predicting the transcript factors of the different expression of circRNAs. Then the competing endogenous RNAs(ceRNAs) network was assembled and the analysis of the Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes were performed to predict the functions of different expression of circRNAs.ResultsA total of 366 different expression of circRNAs were detected in GD. The exonic circRNA hsa_circ_0090364 was validated as an up-regulated molecule in GD. 82 transcript factors in promoter region for hsa_circ_0090364 were predicted. The ceRNAs network revealed that the miR-378 family members acted as the target microRNAs of hsa_circ_0090364 and its downstream genes, and also unveiled the involvement of hsa_circ_0090364 in pathogenesis of GD.ConclusionsHsa_circ_0090364 might play a role of ceRNA through sponging up miR-378 family members, which demonstrated that circRNAs had an effect on regulation in GD. |
