Differentially Expressed Circular RNAs and their Therapeutic Mechanism in Nonsegmental Vitiligo Patients Treated with Methylprednisolone

We identified the differentially expressed circular RNAs in vitiligo patients before and after treatment of methylprednisolone. We have completed the Arraystar Human circRNA Array V2 analysis of the 8 peripheral blood specimens. Whole blood samples (3 mL each) were collected by venipuncture into heparinized vacutainers from a total of four patients diagnosed with nonsegmental vitiligo before and after systemic glucocorticoid therapy (oral methylprednisolone tablets, 12mg daily for eight weeks). Eight peripheral blood specimens were collected from a total of four patients diagnosed with nonsegmental vitiligo before and after systemic glucocorticoid therapy。
