Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease caused by a variety of unknown factors. It mainly occurs in the small joints of hands and feet, leading to cartilage destruction and bone erosion. Various pathologic mechanisms such as exosomes and RNA methylations are involved in the pathogenesis of RA.
Methods: This work searches PubMed, Web of Science (SCIE) and Science Direct Online (SDOL) databases, it role of abnormally expressed circulating RNAs (circRNAs) in the pathogenesis of RA was summarized. And the relationship between circRNAs and exosomes and methylations.
Results: Both the abnormal expression of circRNAs and the sponge effect of circRNAs on microRNAs (miRNAs) affect the pathogenesis of RA by regulating target genes. CircRNAs affect the proliferation, migration and inflammatory reaction of RA-fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLSs), circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and macrophages also participate in the pathological mechanism of RA (Fig. 1). CircRNAs in exosomes are closely related to the pathogenesis of RA. In addition, exosomal circRNAs and the relationship between circRNAs and RNA methylations are closely related to the pathogenesis of RA.
Conclusion: CircRNAs play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA and have the potential to be a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of RA. However, the development of mature circRNAs for clinical application is not a small challenge.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), as a class of noncoding RNA molecules with a circular structure exhibit high stability and spatiotemporal-specific expression, making them ideal cancer biomarkers for liquid biopsy. Herein, a new photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for a highly sensitive circRNA assay in the whole blood of lung cancer patients was designed based on CRISPR/Cas13a-programmed Cu nanoclusters (Cu NCs) and a -scheme covalent organic framework/silver sulfide (T-COF/AgS) composite. This -scheme T-COF/AgS composite accelerates electron transfer and produces an excellent initial photocurrent.

Background: Circular (circ)RNAs have emerged as crucial contributors to cancer progression. Nonetheless, the expression regulation, biological functions, and underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in mediating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression remain insufficiently elucidated.
Methods: We identified circUCK2(2,3) through circRNA sequencing, RT-PCR, and Sanger sequencing.

Ameson portunus, the causative agent of "toothpaste disease" in Portunus trituberculatus and "slurry-like syndrome" in Scylla paramamosain, has resulted in considerable economic losses in the marine crab aquaculture industry in China. Practical control strategies are yet unavailable. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are crucial components of gene regulation of intracellular parasites, however, their roles in regulating the microsporidia-host interaction remain limited.

Objective: The authors explored differentially expressed circRNAs in Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) and revealed the role and potential downstream molecular mechanisms of circLOC375190.
Methods: circLOC375190 expression was modulated by lentiviral injection in the brain of transient Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (tMCAO) mice. Neurological dysfunction was assessed, as well as infarction size, histopathological changes, and neuronal apoptosis in tMCAO mice.

Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a commercially important crop known for its nutritional value, high antioxidant content, and use in beverages and desserts. Gulupa baciliform virus A (GBVA), tentatively named Badnavirus in the family Caulimoviridae, is a cryptic circular double-stranded DNA (dsDNA, ≈6,951 bps) virus recently reported in Colombia with asymptomatic infection of passion fruit (Sepúlveda et al. 2022).
