| Biological function: |
Suppresses NPs-Nd 2 O 3-induced DNA damage in 16HBE cells and may serve as a clinical marker for occupational workers in early pulmonary disease. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Circ_002363 binds PARP1, Ku70, Ku80 and Rad50 and inhibits DNA damage by regulating the NHEJ DNA repair pathway; its downregulation after NPs-Nd 2 O 3 exposure is caused by BCAS2 interacting with Pre-DNA2 and affecting circ_002363 cyclization. |

| Clinical significance: |
Circ_002363 is a potential clinical marker for the diagnosis of occupational workers in early pulmonary disease; longer working years were associated with lower expression of circ_002363. |
| Description: |
Circ_002363 is downregulated after NPs-Nd 2 O 3 exposure in 16HBE cells, exposed rats and occupational workers. It suppresses nanoparticle-induced DNA damage by promoting the NHEJ repair pathway through interactions with PARP1, Ku70, Ku80 and Rad50, while BCAS2-mediated regulation of Pre-DNA2 contributes to its reduced formation. |
