    Abstract:
    Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related joint disease with chronic inflammation, progressive articular cartilage destruction and subchondral bone sclerosis. CircRNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA with a circular structure that participate in a series of important pathophysiological processes of OA, especially its ceRNA mechanisms, and play an important role in OA. CircRNAs may be potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of OA. Additionally, differentially expressed circRNAs were found in patients with OA, indicating that circRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of OA. Experiments have shown that the intra-articular injection of modified circRNAs can effectively relieve OA. Exosomal circRNAs and methylated circRNAs also provide new ideas for the treatment of OA. Clarifying the important roles of circRNAs in OA will deepen people's understanding of the pathogenesis of OA. CircRNAs may be developed as new biomarkers or drug targets for the diagnosis of OA and provide new methods for the treatment of OA.
