Expression Profiles of circRNAs and Identification of hsa_circ_0007608 and hsa_circ_0064656 as Potential Biomarkers for COPD-PH Patients
Summary
This study identified expression profiles of circular RNAs in COPD-related pulmonary hypertension and identified two candidates (hsa_circ_0007608 and hsa_circ_0064656) as potential diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets.
This study identified the functional circRNAs, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms and predictions of COPD-PH, and may provide potential diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets for COPD-PH.

Functional roles of circular RNAs in lung injury
This review examines the functional roles of circular RNAs in various forms of lung injury, including their involvement in disease progression. The study suggests that understanding circRNA mechanisms could lead to new insights into respiratory damage pathways, though the connection to environmental exposures requires further investigation.
K48 and K63 linkage-competed ubiquitination of BECN1 promotes circPDE4D-mediated autophagy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Researchers investigated the regulatory role of circPDE4D in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, finding that this downregulated circular RNA promotes autophagy and reduces inflammation by modulating a SMURF1-BECN1 ubiquitination axis that competes between K48 and K63 linkage pathways to control BECN1 protein stability.
The regulation of circRNA_kif26b on alveolar epithelial cell senescence via miR-346-3p is involved in microplastics-induced lung injuries
Researchers found that inhaled polystyrene microplastics caused lung damage in rats by accelerating the aging of cells lining the air sacs, through a specific molecular pathway involving circular RNA. The microplastics triggered inflammation, fibrosis, and premature cell aging in lung tissue over a 35-day exposure period. The study reveals a new mechanism by which inhaled microplastics may contribute to lung injury.
Mechanism of circRNA_SMG6 mediating lung macrophage ECM degradation via miR-570-3p in microplastics-induced emphysema
In a rat study, inhaling polystyrene microplastics for 90 days caused lung damage resembling emphysema, including inflammation, thickened tissue walls, and enlarged air sacs. The microplastics triggered the breakdown of the structural support network in the lungs through a specific molecular pathway involving circular RNA. This research provides a mechanism by which breathing in microplastic particles could contribute to chronic lung disease in humans.
Detection of the Disorders of Glycerophospholipids and Amino Acids Metabolism in Lung Tissue From Male COPD Patients
Untargeted metabolomics was applied to lung tissue from male COPD patients to characterize metabolic disruptions, finding significant disturbances in glycerophospholipid and amino acid metabolism compared to healthy controls. The study identifies overlapping biomarkers between lung tissue and plasma metabolomes, suggesting that blood-based metabolic profiling could serve as a surrogate for lung metabolic status in COPD.
