Specifically, the invention provides an RSA marker circular RNA hsa _ circ _0008362 and application of a detection reagent thereof in diagnosis and prediction of recurrent abortion (RSA), and comprises a diagnostic reagent or a kit for preparing diagnosis/prediction RSA.

Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology and medicine, and more specifically to abortion markers and their use in the diagnosis and prediction of recurrent abortion (RSA) pathological pregnancy.
Background
Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion (RSA) refers to the recurrent spontaneous abortionSpontaneous abortion of at least 2 times in women with the same sexual partner[1]. Most RSA occurs early in pregnancy, typically within 10 weeks of pregnancy[2]. Causes of RSA are diverse and complex, and known causes include endocrine dysfunction, anatomical factors, genetic factors, immunological factors, infectious diseases, and advanced age of both parents; another reason for about 50% of RSA is unclear[3]. Clinical studies on how to diagnose and/or predict the occurrence of RSA remain blank.
Circular RNAs (circular RNAs) are a novel competitive endogenous non-coding RNAs molecules with a regulating effect and are widely present in eukaryotic cytoplasm. Unlike traditional linear RNA (containing 5 'and 3' ends), circRNAs have a closed ring structure, are not easily degraded by exonuclease, are more stable in expression, and have the characteristics of high abundance, stable structure, tissue specificity and the like[4]. Functionally, recent researches show that circRNA molecules are rich in microrna (miRNA) binding sites and play a role of miRNA sponge (miRNA sponge) in cells, so that the inhibition of miRNA on target genes of the miRNA is relieved, and the expression level of the target genes is increased, wherein the action mechanism is called competitive endogenous rna (cerana) mechanism[4,5]。
circRNA plays an important regulatory role in disease through the interaction with disease-associated mirnas. With clinical application in treating diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases and nervous system diseases[6-9]The circRNA provides an important new research idea and a treatment target for disease treatment. Meanwhile, the circRNA has the characteristics of universality, conservation, tissue specificity, stability and the like, so that the circRNA has great potential as a marker for disease screening and treatment, and is predicted to become a novel biomarker in the future along with the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing and molecular bioinformatics technologies. The research shows that the expression of circRNAs in the embryonic development process shows obvious dynamic change, and host genes of the circRNAs are rich in human embryos and closely related to the processes of DNA damage repair, organelle and chromosome structures, cell cycle process, metabolic regulation and the like[10]The circRNAs mayCan participate in the pathological process of embryo implantation failure[11]There was a significant difference in circRNAs between RSA patients and normal villous tissue[12]. Several studies suggest that circRNAs may have unique and important functions in embryonic development and pregnancy establishment. Although the exact mechanism of action remains to be elucidated, the use of circRNAs as candidate molecules for RSA identification has revealed a wide prospect in clinical applications.
In summary, it can be seen from the existing studies that the diagnostic and/or prognostic methods for RSA are currently poorly understood. Therefore, there is a great need in the art for molecular markers that can be used for RSA diagnosis and/or prediction, while also providing a new perspective for the study of RSA pathogenesis and the screening and identification of its biomarker molecules.

The ROC graph reflects the relationship between sensitivity and specificity, the X axis of the abscissa is 1-specificity, also called false positive rate (false alarm rate), and the closer the X axis is to zero, the higher the accuracy rate is; the Y-axis on the ordinate is called sensitivity, also called true positive rate (sensitivity), with larger Y-axes representing better accuracy. The whole graph is divided into two parts according to the curve position, the area of the part below the curve is called AUC (area Under Current) and is used for representing the prediction accuracy, and the higher the AUC value, namely the larger the area Under the curve, the higher the prediction accuracy is. The closer the curve is to the upper left corner (the smaller X, the larger Y), the higher the prediction accuracy.
