Article Abstract
Objectives: Primary blast lung injury (PBLI) is the main cause of death in blast injury patients, and is often ignored due to the absence of a specific diagnosis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are becoming recognized as new regulators of various diseases, but the role of circRNAs in PBLI remain largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate PBLI-related circRNAs and their probable roles as new regulators in PBLI in order to provide new ideas for PBLI diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: The differentially expressed (DE) circRNA and mRNA profiles were screened by transcriptome high-throughput sequencing and validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The GO and KEGG pathway enrichment was used to investigate the potential function of DE mRNAs. The interactions between proteins were analyzed using the STRING database and hub genes were identified using the MCODE plugin. Then, Cytoscape software was used to illustrate the circRNA-miRNA-hub gene network.
Results: A total of 117 circRNAs and 681 mRNAs were aberrantly expressed in PBLI, including 64 up-regulated and 53 down-regulated circRNAs, and 315 up-regulated and 366 down-regulated mRNAs. GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the DE mRNAs might be involved in the TNF signaling pathway and Fanconi anemia pathway. Hub genes, including Cenpf, Ndc80, Cdk1, Aurkb, Ttk, Aspm, Ccnb1, Kif11, Bub1 and Top2a, were obtained using the MCODE plugin. The network consist of 6 circRNAs (chr18:21008725-21020999 + , chr4:44893533-44895989 + , chr4:56899026-56910247-, chr5:123709382-123719528-, chr9:108528589-108544977 + and chr15:93452117-93465245 +), 7 miRNAs (mmu-miR-3058-5p, mmu-miR-3063-5p, mmu-miR-668-5p, mmu-miR-7038-3p, mmu-miR-761, mmu-miR-7673-5p and mmu-miR-9-5p) and 6 mRNAs (Aspm, Aurkb, Bub1, Cdk1, Cenpf and Top2a).
Conclusions: This study examined a circRNA-miRNA-hub gene regulatory network associated with PBLI and explored the potential functions of circRNAs in the network for the first time. Six circRNAs in the circRNA-miRNA-hub gene regulatory network, including chr18:21008725-21020999 + , chr4:44893533-44895989 + , chr4:56899026-56910247-, chr5:123709382-123719528-, chr9:108528589-108544977 + and chr15:93452117-93465245 + may play an essential role in PBLI.

Article Synopsis
- CircRNA is a type of non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression by binding to microRNA, influencing protein levels in tissues like goose muscles, which are significant for their taste and nutrition.
- The study analyzed circRNA and mRNA expression in goose muscle cells, finding 96 differentially expressed circRNAs and 880 mRNAs, notably linked to the Wnt signaling pathway crucial for muscle cell development.
- By constructing an interaction network involving circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA, the research identified key regulatory mechanisms and hub genes involved in muscle growth, contributing to a better understanding of goose muscle formation.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious illness that develops suddenly, progresses rapidly, has a poor treatment response and a high mortality rate. Studies have found that circular RNAs (circRNA) play a critical role in several diseases, but their role in ALI remains unclear. The aim of this study was to identify circRNAs that are associated with ALI and investigate their potential molecular mechanisms.
