Objective:This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of peripheral blood circ_0070934/miR-199a-5p/MGAT3 in combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome(CARAS). Methods:Peripheral venous blood was collected from 38 CARAS patients and 43 healthy controls. Plasma MGAT3 protein level was detected by ELISA,and the expression level of circ_0070934/miR-199a-5p/ MGAT3 in peripheral blood was detected by quantitative real - time PCR(qRT - PCR). Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were determined by ROC curve. Results:ELISA results showed that MGAT3 concentration in CARAS patients was significantly lower than that in control group(P=0.035). The circ_0070934(P=0.001)and MGAT3 mRNA expressions(P < 0.001)in CARAS patients were down-regulated when compared with control group,while miR-199a-5p was up-regulated(P=0.013). Correlation analysis showed that MGAT3 was positively correlated with the count of eosinophils and the percentage of eosinophils,while circ_0070934 showed a negative correlation. ROC curve analysis indicated that MGAT3 was the best parameter. When the cut - off value was 0.208,the sensitivity and specificity were 73.7% and 100.0%,respectively,and the AUC was 0.933(95% CI:0.882~0.984,P < 0.001). The combination of circ_0070934,miR -199a -5p and MGAT3 had the highest diagnostic value for CARAS. When the cut -off value was 0.539,the sensitivity was 92.1%,the specificity was 93.0%,and the AUC was 0.959(95%CI:0.916~1.000,P < 0.001). Conclusion: Altered expressions of circ_0070934/miR-199a-5p/MGAT3 were confirmed in the peripheral blood of CARAS patients,which can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of CARAS. Further researches on the specific role and mechanism of circ_0070934/miR-199a-5p/ MGAT3 in CARAS will help to discover new diagnostic and therapeutic targets of CARAS.
