Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a cardiovascular disease that seriously threatens human health and brings huge economic burden. At present, its pathogenesis remains unclear and its treatment is limited to surgical treatment. With the deepening and analysis of studies on the mechanism of ferroptosis, a new idea has been provided for the clinical management of AAA patients, including diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Therefore, this paper aims to construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory axis based on ferroptosis to preliminarily explore the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of AAA. We obtained upregulated and downregulated ferroptosis-related DEGs (FRGs) from GSE144431 dataset and 60 known ferroptosis-related genes. Pearson correlation analysis was used to find aldoketone reductase 1C (AKR1C1) in AAA samples. Enrichment analysis of these genes was performed via Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Correlation test between immune cells and AKR1C1 was investigated through single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). The AKR1C1-miRNA pairs were predicted by the TargetScan database and miRWalk database. Circular RNA (CircRNA)-miRNA pairs were selected by the CircInteractome database. Overlapping miRNA between circRNA-miRNA and AKR1C1-miRNA pairs was visualized by Venn diagram. Finally, the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis was constructed by searching for upstream circRNA and downstream mRNA of overlapping miRNA. Only one downregulated AKR1C1 gene was found in GSE144431 and 60 ferroptosis-related genes. Functional Enrichment and Pathway Analysis of AKR1C1-related genes were further explored, and it was observed that they were mainly enriched in "response to oxidative stress," "glutathione biosynthetic process" and "nonribosomal peptide biosynthetic process," "Ferroptosis," "Glutathione metabolism" and "Chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species." They were also found to be significantly associated with most immune cells, including Activated Dendritic cells, CD56dim Natural killer cells, Gamma Delta T cells, Immature B cells, Plasmacytoid dendritic cell, Type 2 T helper cell, Activated CD4 T cell and Type 1 T helper cell. Has_circ_0005073-miRNA-543 and AKR1C1-miRNA-543 were identified by Online Database analysis. Therefore, we have established the has_circ_0005073/miRNA-543/AKR1C1 axis in AAA. We found AKR1C1 was differentially expressed between normal and AAA groups. Based on AKR1C1, we constructed the has_circ_0005073/miRNA-543/AKR1C1 axis to analyze AAA.

Background: Non-smoking women with lung adenocarcinoma(NSWLA) is a significant health problem globally; the carcinogenesis and prognostic signature remain poorly understood. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are gradually implicated in cancer formation through sponging miRNAs to regulate mRNAs.
Methods: Tumor and paracancerous specimens from non-smoking women after lung adenocarcinoma surgery were collected for high-throughput sequencing of circRNA.

Coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) is a major pathogen responsible for hand-foot-mouth disease, herpangina, and even severe death. The mechanisms underlying CVB5-induced diseases are not fully elucidated, and no specific antiviral treatments are currently available. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a closed-loop molecular structure, have been reported to be involved in virus infectious diseases.

Background: Sorafenib, an orally active potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), represented a primary treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, sorafenib resistance was regarded as a huge obstacle for HCC treatment.
Methods: RNA-sequencing including circRNA Sequencing (circRNA-Seq) for circular RNAs (circRNAs), miRNA Sequencing (miRNA-Seq) for microRNAs (miRNAs), as well as mRNA Sequencing (mRNA-Seq) for mRNAs in , were performed.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a serious cancer where noncoding RNAs (like circRNAs and miRNAs) play a role in its progression; researchers constructed a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network to explore these connections.
- They identified six circRNAs associated with HCC, linking these to various miRNAs and mRNAs, and focused on the hsa_circ_0001726/miR-140-3p/KRAS axis, revealing its involvement in HCC cell growth and survival.
- The findings suggest that this network enhances understanding of HCC's underlying mechanisms and highlights the hsa_circ_0001726 axis as a potential target related to treatment resistance.
