CircRNAs: Is it a Potential Bridge between COPD and Gynecological Diseases?

Abstract

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), as non-coding RNAs unique to eukaryotes, have a certain influence on the development of various diseases. This article investigates the possible relationship between CircRNA and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and gynecological diseases. Through the summary of existing epidemiological studies, case-control studies, and related studies, we found that CircRNA is expected to become a bridge between the two systems due to its unique structure and function. Although the specific mechanism still needs further exploration, this review opens up a new path for studying cross-system diseases. It is expected that more studies in the future will uncover the detailed mechanism of circRNAs in coordinating the relationship between COPD and gynecological diseases.
