Mechanism of Acupuncture on Coronary Heart Disease via circRNA
Coronary heart disease(CHD)is a common heart disease caused by coronary atherosclerosis,vascular stenosis or occlusion,leading to myocardial ischemia,hypoxia or necrosis,and it is the main death cause of cardiovascular diseases.As a newly discovered non-coding RNA molecule,circRNA plays an important role in the occurrence and development of cardiovascu-lar diseases.In recent years,many studies have confirmed that acupuncture and moxibustion have clear safety and effectiveness in the treatment of coronary heart disease.Studies have found that acupuncture can exert therapeutic effects on other types of disea-ses by regulating circRNA.This article introduced the role of circRNA in cardiovascular diseases,combining with the mechanism of acupuncture on the treatment of coronary heart disease,and explored the further feasibility of acupuncture through regulating circRNA to treat coronary heart diseases,hoping to provide a new perspective for the follow-up study on the regulatory mecha-nism of acupuncture intervention in coronary heart disease.
