Expression alteration of plasma exosomal circular RNAs in OSA patients with acute myocardial infarction

This study demonstrated that there were a number of dysregulated circRNAs in exosomes from OSA with AMI patients, which might be effectively served as a promising diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic targets. Objectives: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are recently identified as a class of non-coding RNAs that participate in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction(AMI) The plasma exosomal circRNAs profile of three healthy subjects, three OSA without AMI and three OSA with AMI were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. Bioinformatic analyses were carried out to assess potential core circRNAs and functional analyses were conducted to study biological functions.
