Article Abstract
Recent researches have revealed the potential utility of extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) as biomarkers in various diseases. However, the association between plasma eccDNAs and myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. In this study, we extracted plasma eccDNA from blood samples of individuals with acute MI and conducted Circle-Seq. We identified an MI-related eccDNA (MIRECD) with high expression levels in the plasma of patients with MI. Sanger sequencing validated its loop construction and sequence. Mechanistically, MIRECD could aggravate necroptosis via regulating the expression of mixed-lineage-kinase-domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that the incidences of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and cardiovascular mortality were higher in individuals with elevated MIRECD levels. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that MIRECD independently predicted the occurrence of MACEs in patients with MI. The addition of MIRECD enhanced the discrimination and reclassification ability compared with conventional risk factors. In conclusion, our study identified a novel eccDNA, MIRECD, which might regulate myocardial necroptosis through MLKL. MIRECD has the potential to serve as a reliable indicator for predicting the prognosis and stratifying the risk of MI.

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) drives oncogene amplification in multiple malignancies, yet its landscape and clinical relevance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain poorly characterized. Here, we performed Circle-seq and RNA-seq on six pairs of HCC tumors and adjacent non-tumor tissues, identifying a 3 Mb extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) from chromosome 1q21 in 50 % tumor samples. This ecDNA contained multiple genes, but functional analysis prioritized PIP5K1A due to its central role in PI3K/AKT signaling and association with poor prognosis.

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is a class of chromosome-independent circular DNA molecules found in diverse organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. Recent research has highlighted its roles in gene regulation, genome stability, and disease pathogenesis, with growing recognition of eccDNA as a valuable biomarker for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring in precision medicine. Studies have also linked eccDNA to non-neoplastic diseases and normal tissue biology, broadening its biological significance beyond malignancies.
