hsa_circ_0008301 has diagnostic value for pSS, can help judge disease activity, is associated with clinical characteristics including disease duration, fatigue, thrombocytopenia, ESR, IgG, complement C3 and ESSDAI, decreases after treatment, and may have significance for prognosis and as a potential therapeutic target.
This study found that hsa_circ_0008301 is up-regulated in peripheral blood from patients with pSS and is higher in patients with active disease. Its expression correlates with several clinical and laboratory indicators and decreases after treatment, supporting its potential use as a biomarker for pSS diagnosis, disease activity evaluation, and treatment response monitoring. The proposed mechanism is speculative and involves possible participation in pSS inflammation through the MyD88-dependent TLR-NF-kappaB pathway.
