description | Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various fibrotic diseases, but the potential biological function and expression profile of circRNAs in keloids remain unknown. Herein, microarray technology was applied to detect circRNA expression in four patient-derived keloid dermal fibroblasts (KDFs) and normal dermal fibroblasts (NDFs). A total of 327 differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs (fold change > 1.5, p < 0.05) were identified with 195 upregulated and 132 downregulated circRNAs. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses showed that the upregulated circRNAs were mainly enriched in the cytoskeleton and tight junctions, while the downregulated circRNAs were related to morphogenesis of the epithelium and axonal guidance. To explore the function of DE circRNAs, a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network, including five circRNAs, nine miRNAs, and 235 correlated mRNAs, was constructed using bioinformatics analyses. The expression of five DE circRNAs was validated by qRT–PCR in 18 pairs of KDFs and NDFs, and hsa_circ_0006867 showed promising regulatory function in keloids in vitro. Silencing hsa_circ_00006867 suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of keloid fibroblasts. RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays indicated that hsa_circ_00006867 may serve as a platform for miRNA binding to Argonaute (AGO) 2. In addition, hsa-miR-29a-5p may be a potential target miRNA of hsa_circ_00006867. Taken together, our research provided multiple novel clues to understand the pathophysiologic mechanism of keloids and identified hsa_circ_0006867 as a biomarker of keloids. |
