Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to the application of circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215 in the prognosis of bariatric surgery. Background Technology

[0002] Obesity is a globally prevalent chronic metabolic disease characterized by significant weight gain and abnormal accumulation of body fat, often accompanied by metabolic syndrome manifestations such as insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the global obesity rate continues to rise, and obesity has become a significant risk factor for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Bariatric surgery (such as sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) is one of the most effective treatments for moderate to severe obesity and is widely used in clinical practice. Bariatric surgery not only significantly reduces weight but also improves insulin sensitivity, regulates appetite-related hormones, and achieves diabetes remission in many patients.

[0003] However, in actual clinical follow-up, it was found that despite relatively consistent surgical methods and postoperative interventions, there were significant individual differences in weight loss outcomes among patients. Some patients did not reach their ideal weight loss goals (%EWL>60%) within one or even two years after surgery, and some even experienced weight rebound. At present, the assessment of surgical efficacy mainly relies on postoperative indicators, such as total weight loss percentage (TWL%), changes in body mass index (BMI), or excess weight loss percentage (%EWL). These indicators can only be obtained after a long period of time after surgery, making it impossible to predict preoperative risks and providing a basis for preoperative stratification and individualized treatment planning.

[0004] To address this issue, researchers have recently attempted to identify detectable molecular biomarkers before surgery. Existing studies have shown that the expression levels of certain mRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs in adipose tissue are associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. For example, LINC00278 and circSAMD4A are considered to potentially participate in energy metabolism regulation and adipose tissue function. However, most of these studies focus on mechanistic exploration, have limited sample sizes, lack postoperative efficacy verification, and have not yet developed standardized methods for clinical prediction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide the application of circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215 in the prognosis of bariatric surgery, which can accurately predict the weight loss effect one year after surgery based on visceral adipose tissue samples using %EWL.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides an application of a predictive biomarker in the preparation of products for the prognosis or effect evaluation of weight loss surgery, wherein the predictive biomarker contains a circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215.

[0008] The present invention also provides an application of a kit in the preparation of products for the prognosis or effect evaluation of weight loss surgery, the kit comprising reagents for detecting the expression level of hsa_circ_0083215.

[0009] Preferably, the reagent used to detect the expression level of hsa_circ_0083215 includes primer pairs that specifically amplify hsa_circ_0083215.

[0010] The present invention also provides an application of a kit in the preparation of products for the prognosis or effect evaluation of weight loss surgery, the kit comprising primer pairs for specific amplification of hsa_circ_0083215 and quantitative PCR reaction reagents.

[0011] Preferably, the primer pair includes:

[0012] The nucleotide sequence is as shown in the forward primer of SEQ ID NO.1;

[0013] The nucleotide sequence is shown in the reverse primer of SEQ ID NO.2.

[0014] Preferably, the nucleotide sequence of the amplification product of the primer pair is shown in SEQ ID NO.3.

[0015] Preferably, the prognosis or effect assessment of the weight loss surgery is reflected by the percentage of excess weight loss one year after surgery. A percentage of excess weight loss greater than 60% one year after surgery is considered to have a better prognosis or better effect.

[0016] Conversely, it is recorded as a poor prognosis or poor outcome.

[0017] This invention also provides the application of circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215 as a target in the preparation of diagnostic reagents for the prognosis of bariatric surgery.

[0018] The present invention also provides a prognostic assessment system for bariatric surgery, the system including a computing device for judging the effect of bariatric surgery based on the expression level of circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215.

[0019] Preferably, the system further includes any one or more of the following components:

[0020] A detection device for detecting the expression level of the circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215;

[0021] A reference device is used to receive the expression level output by the detection device and compare it based on known grouping information of the successful weight loss group and the unsuccessful weight loss group;

[0022] The analysis device is used to compare the expression level of the circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215 of the subjects with known group information and output the prognostic assessment results.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0024] This invention is the first to propose using the circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215 as a molecular biomarker for preoperative prediction of the efficacy of bariatric surgery (based on EWL% one year postoperatively). This circular RNA is stably detectable in intraoperative visceral adipose tissue, and its expression level is significantly correlated with postoperative weight loss success, demonstrating good independent predictive ability. This invention directly addresses the challenge of preoperative assessment of individualized weight loss outcomes by detecting a specific molecular biomarker, enabling physicians to predict surgical efficacy in advance and optimize treatment plans accordingly. The method is based on routinely obtained intraoperative tissue samples, is simple to operate, and easily promoted clinically, providing a reliable foundation for the development of standardized preoperative predictive kits and contributing to the advancement of precision medicine practices in obesity treatment. Ultimately, by improving patient management and the targeting of intervention strategies, it can effectively improve the success rate of surgical treatment and the long-term health benefits for patients.

[0030] Example

[0031] This invention provides a method for predicting the prognosis of weight loss surgery based on the expression level of circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215 in visceral adipose tissue collected intraoperatively. This method uses quantitative PCR to detect circRNA expression levels and preoperatively assesses whether the patient has achieved the target weight loss one year postoperatively, using an excess weight loss percentage (%EWL) > 60% as the criterion for successful weight loss.

[0032] The specific information of the circular RNA is as follows: ID (hsa_circ_0083215), location (chr7:158554186-158590767), and Genomic length (36581).

[0042] 6. Add an equal volume of isopropanol to the collected supernatant, mix gently, and let stand for at least 10 minutes;

[0043] Centrifuge at 14,000 rpm for 10 minutes (4°C), then discard the supernatant;

[0044] 8. Wash with freshly prepared 75% ethanol, centrifuge at 7500 rpm for 5 minutes (4℃), and discard the supernatant;

[0045] 9. Repeat step 8 twice;

[0046] 10. Air dry the RNA precipitate and dissolve it in RNase-free water;

[0047] 11. Use NanoDrop to determine RNA concentration and purity.

[0048] (3) Reverse transcription reaction (cDNA synthesis)

[0049] Reverse transcription was performed using PrimeScript RT Master Mix (RR036A, TaKaRa). The 10 μl reaction mixture is shown in Table 1. The reaction conditions were as follows: 37℃ for 15 minutes; 85℃ for 5 seconds; after the reaction, the mixture was immediately stored at 4℃ or -20℃.

[0064] A two-step PCR reaction program was used. First, pre-denaturation was performed at 95°C for 5 min, cycle number 1. Then, denaturation and annealing extension data were collected, with 40 cycles at 95°C for 10 sec followed by 60°C for 30 sec. Finally, melting curve analysis was performed according to the instrument's recommended settings. Each sample was tested in triplicate, and the relative expression level was calculated using the ΔΔCt method.

[0065] (5) Patient information and outcome grouping

[0066] A total of 87 obese patients were included, with the first 54 serving as the training set for building the predictive model and the latter 33 serving as the independent validation set. All patients completed a one-year follow-up after surgery, and %EWL was calculated. The calculation formula is: %EWL = (preoperative weight - postoperative weight) / (preoperative weight - ideal weight) × 100%. Ideal weight (kg) is calculated as height (cm) - 105 for men and height (cm) - 100 for women. %EWL > 60% was considered "successful weight loss," and ≤ 60% was considered "failed weight loss." Table 3 shows the basic information of the participants in the training set, and Table 4 shows the basic information of the participants in the validation set.

[0071] (6) Expression Analysis and Results

[0072] The study found that the expression level of hsa_circ_0083215 was significantly higher in patients who failed to lose weight during the training session (n = 18) than in those who succeeded (n = 36). Figure 1 As shown ( P = 0.021), and see Table 5 for comparison of clinical baseline data.

[0075] (7) Predictive capability assessment (ROC analysis)

[0076] ROC curves were plotted using the expression levels of hsa_circ_0083215 in the training set to evaluate its predictive ability for the success of weight loss in patients undergoing bariatric surgery one year post-surgery. Figure 2 As shown. First, considering only the expression level of hsa_circ_0083215, a one-way model is constructed, such as... Figure 2 The blue line represents the predictive performance. The area under the curve (AUC) is 0.725, with a 95% CI of 0.561–0.890. P = 0.007, cut-off = 13.4705, sensitivity = 0.917, specificity = 0.667. This indicates that the expression level of hsa_circ_0083215 has significant and good predictive power for the success of weight loss in patients undergoing bariatric surgery one year post-surgery. When using a multivariate model (hsa_circ_0083215 expression level + sex + age + preoperative weight + height), AUC = 0.804, 95% CI: 0.684–0.924, P <0.001, such as Figure 2 As shown by the red line. The Z-test compares the difference in predictive performance between the two models: Z = 1.099. P = 0.272, the difference is not significant. This indicates that hsa_circ_0083215 alone possesses good predictive performance in this invention.

[0077] To further validate the predictive ability of this biomarker, the expression level of hsa_circ_0083215 was analyzed using the same ROC method in a newly added independent validation set of 33 cases. Figure 3 In the validation set, the univariate model using only hsa_circ_0083215 expression levels had an AUC of 0.813 (95% CI: 0.649–0.977). P= 0.005), cut-off value 9.7765, sensitivity 0.800, specificity 0.826. The multivariate model (hsa_circ_0083215 expression level + sex + age + preoperative weight + height) had an AUC of 0.820 (95% CI: 0.721–0.984). P = 0.002), sensitivity was 0.900, and specificity was 0.696. To assess the difference in predictive ability between the two models in the validation set, a Z-test was performed, with a result of Z = -0.705. P = 0.481, indicating no significant difference in predictive performance between the two. This further demonstrates that hsa_circ_0083215 can serve as an effective indicator for predicting postoperative efficacy on its own, and it still exhibits robust predictive ability in independent samples, supporting its potential application as an intraoperative biomarker in clinical practice.

[0078] (8) Effects of hsa_circ_0083215 knockdown on key genes in lipid metabolism

[0079] Figure 4 This study demonstrates the effect of hsa_circ_0083215 knockdown (Circ_0083215-KD) on the expression of adipogenesis-related genes (C / EBP-α and PPAR-γ) in primary mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) extracted from human visceral adipose tissue. Proteins were extracted from these cells at various time points during adipogenic differentiation induction (days 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12) and processed using Western blotting. The time points were chosen to observe the effect of hsa_circ_0083215 knockdown on primary MSCs at different differentiation stages. The results showed that the expression of C / EBP-α (38 kD) and PPAR-γ (58 kD) was significantly lower in the Circ_0083215-KD group than in the Scramble group. This suggests that hsa_circ_0083215 may influence adipogenic differentiation and adipogenesis in MSCs by regulating these key transcription factors. GAPDH (36 kD) was used as an internal reference gene, exhibiting stable expression, and was employed to correct experimental results. These results not only support the role of hsa_circ_0083215 in lipid metabolism but also provide molecular-level evidence for its use as a preoperative biomarker for predicting the efficacy of bariatric surgery.

[0080] As can be seen from the above embodiments, this invention is the first to propose using the circular RNA hsa_circ_0083215 as a molecular biomarker for preoperative prediction of the efficacy of bariatric surgery (based on EWL% one year postoperatively). This circular RNA can be stably detected in visceral adipose tissue during surgery, and its expression level is significantly correlated with the success of postoperative weight loss, demonstrating good independent predictive ability. This invention utilizes intraoperative omental visceral adipose tissue as a sample source. The tissue acquisition method conforms to actual clinical procedures, requiring no additional sampling and facilitating widespread adoption and standardization. Specific qRT-PCR primers are used to detect hsa_circ_0083215 expression, with the amplified fragment crossing splicing sites to avoid linear mRNA interference and ensure detection specificity. A ROC prediction model based on hsa_circ_0083215 expression was constructed, achieving an AUC value of 0.725, demonstrating high sensitivity (0.917) and specificity (0.667). The AUC increased to 0.804 after incorporating factors such as age, sex, height, and preoperative weight. The experimental methods utilize existing mature RNA extraction, reverse transcription, and qPCR detection platforms (such as TRIzol, TaKaRa RR036A, SYBR Green, and Roche LightCycler 480), ensuring reproducibility and clinical translation feasibility. This detection method is suitable for preoperative risk stratification and individualized intervention guidance, and can be extended to postoperative management, long-term efficacy prediction, or multifactorial modeling. This invention also covers the development of preoperative molecular diagnostic reagent compositions targeting hsa_circ_0083215, including their specific primer pairs, probes and adapted reaction systems.

[0081] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
