| Description: |
circFKBP8 (hsa_circ_0050119) is down-regulated in whole blood of MDD patients. Its expression is associated with serum BDNF and depressive symptom measures, and it increases after rTMS with changes predicting subsequent symptom improvement. Mechanistically, it was analyzed via a predicted ceRNA network linking to downstream mRNAs (e.g., GPR68, PDXDC1, RNF213, NMT2, ABCC3), suggesting roles in neuroplasticity/neuroinflammation. |
