Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of candidate circRNAs (circRNA_103829, circRNA_10827, circRNA_104816, circRNA_101889, circRNA_103828, circRNA_100833, circRNA_104852, circRNA_103611) expression levels in granulosa cells from additional young (n = 20) and older (n = 20) women by qRT-PCR. YA, women with young age (≤ 30 years); AA, women with advanced age (≥ 38 years). P values were calculated by Mann-Whitney U test. Relative expressions were analyzed by 2 -ΔΔCt method which was normalized to GAPDH. For each box plotting, the central mark represents the median, the edges of the box represent the 25 th and 75 th percentiles, and the whiskers are the most extreme data points not considered outliers.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) CircRNA_103827/circRNA_104816 targeted “Top 5” miRNA-gene network was portrayed based on sequence-pairing prediction. A pink round node represents a gene, a blue square represents miRNA, and a yellow diamond represents a circRNA. Overlapping genes of both circRNAs in this interactive network were ANKRD20A9P , XIST and KCNQ1OT1 . (B) GO and (C) KEGG pathway analysis of circRNA_103827 and circRNA_104816 predicted target genes.

Article Title: CircRNAs in BALF exosomes and plasma as diagnostic biomarkers in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by severe pneumonia

doi: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1194495

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cluster analysis and RT-qPCR validation of differentially expressed circRNAs in the BALF exosomes from ARDS patients and healthy subjects. (A) The cluster analysis plot of differentially expressed circRNAs; red represents upregulated circRNAs, and green represents downregulated circRNAs. (B) The scatter plot shows differences in circRNA expression in BALF exosomes from case–control groups. The x- and y-axes in the figure represent the mean normalized signal values (log2 scaled) of the sample group. The green fold line represents± 2|-fold, and therefore, the icon above or below the green line represents more than -fold upregulation or downregulation. (C) Volcano plot visualization shows differentially expressed circRNAs. Vertical bars show fold change >| ± 2| (log2 fold change); horizontal green lines represent p = 0.05, −log10 ( p -value), and red dots in the figure represent circRNAs with significant expression differences in statistics. (D) RT-qPCR validation of the nine circRNAs with the most significant differences reveals that seven circRNAs with significant differences between groups are consistent with the gene microarray screening results, with four circRNAs significantly upregulated and three significantly downregulated in the case group. BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Article Snippet: Hybridization was then performed with Arraystar Human circular RNA microarray (13,617, 8 × 15K), and data extraction was carried out using the Agilent Scanner G2505C (Jamul, CA, USA).
