Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between peripheral blood circular RNA Bardet-Biedl syndrome 9 (circBBS9) and circRNA catenin beta 1 (circCTNNB1) and weaning failure of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
METHODS:A prospective, observational cohort study was conducted. The patients with AECOPD who received invasive mechanical ventilation and passed the spontaneous breathing test (SBT) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2022 to February 2024 were selected as the study subjects. According to the outcome of weaning, the patients were divided into failed weaning group and successful weaning group. At admission and before SBT, the expression levels of circBBS9 and circCTNNB1 in peripheral blood were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). General information, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHEII) score within 24 hours of admission, vital signs before SBT and the most recent laboratory indicators before SBT of the patients were collected. The differences in circBBS9 and circCTNNB1 expression levels and clinical data between the two groups were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the weaning failure. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to analyze the predictive value of each index on weaning failure.
RESULTS:Ultimately, 132 patients with AECOPD who underwent invasive mechanical ventilation and passed the SBT were enrolled in the study. Among them, 82 patients were successfully weaned from mechanical ventilation, while 50 patients failed to be weaned, resulting in a weaning failure rate of 37.88%. There was no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of circBBS9 and circCTNNB1 in the peripheral blood at admission of patients between the two groups. The expression level of circBBS9 in the peripheral blood before SBT of patients in the failed weaning group was significantly higher than that in the successful weaning group (2-ΔΔCt: 131.64±30.24 vs. 100.00±21.32), and the expression level of circCTNNB1 was significantly lower than that in the successful weaning group (2-ΔΔCt: 79.90±16.82 vs. 100.00±26.43), and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). The APACHEII score within 24 hours of admission and the levels of RSBI, SCr, and PCT before SBT in the failed weaning group were significantly higher than those in the successful weaning group [APACHEII score: 22.54±4.62 vs. 16.56±4.58, RSBI: 81.90±16.56 vs. 63.25±17.00, SCr (μmol/L): 100.20±17.27 vs. 89.93±26.29, PCT (μg/L): 1.08±0.18 vs. 0.87±0.22], and the Alb level before SBT was significantly lower than that in the successful weaning group (g/L: 29.71±2.73 vs. 33.93±2.89), and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in other clinical data between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that circBBS9 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.291, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.049-1.588] and APACHEII score (OR = 2.897, 95%CI was 1.004-8.353), RSBI (OR = 1.413, 95%CI was 1.057-1.890) were independent risk factors for weaning failure (all P < 0.05), and circCTNNB1 (OR = 0.812, 95%CI was 0.688-0.959) and Alb (OR = 0.149, 95%CI was 0.036-0.614) were protective factors (both P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that circBBS9, circCTNNB1, APACHEII score, RSBI, and Alb all had certain value for predicting weaning failure. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) and 95%CI were 0.820 (0.750-0.890), 0.755 (0.674-0.835), 0.827 (0.757-0.897), 0.795 (0.715-0.876), and 0.854 (0.791-0.919), respectively. Using the multivariate Logistic regression equation as the combined indicator, the AUC for predicting weaning failure reached 0.997 (95%CI was 0.993-1.000), which was significantly higher than that of the single indicators including circBBS9, circCTNNB1, APACHEII score, RSBI, and Alb (the Z value was 5.582, 6.093, 5.771, 5.932, and 5.182, respectively, all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:High expression of circBBS9 and low expression of circCTNNB1 in the peripheral blood of AECOPD patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation before SBT are associated with weaning failure. circBBS9, circCTNNB1 combined with APACHEII score, RSBI and Alb are helpful for predicting the failure of weaning in these patients.
