Accumulating evidence has indicated that circRNAs play crucial roles in the development and progression of multiple diseases. Notably, circRNAs, important epigenetic modulators of gene expression in inflammation and autoimmune regulation, have a close association with the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA, one of the most common systemic autoimmune diseases, is characterized by synovial hyperplasia and inflammation, and cartilage and bone destruction. Here, we focus on the roles of circRNAs in macrophage, synovial tissues, fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), and cartilage tissues in pathogenesis and progression of RA, highlighting the potential of circRNAs in the blood as diagnostic biomarkers, and aiming at providing new insights into the diagnosis and therapy of this disease.Keywords: circular RNAs, rheumatoid arthritis, fibroblast-like synoviocyte, macrophage, biomarkers, cartilage, pathogenesisXu YChen FDove Medical Pressarticlecircular rnasrheumatoid arthritisfibroblast-like synoviocytemacrophagebiomarkerscartilagepathogenesisPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
