Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles secreted by various cell types and are enriched in multiple body fluids. EVs containing RNA have the potential to modulate biological processes and are being investigated for their diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), generated through back-splicing of exons, are enriched in EVs. Given their unique characteristics and diverse functions, EV-circRNAs are important players in disease pathology. This chapter describes a workflow for investigating the expression profile of EV-circRNAs, which includes EVs separation, library preparation, and bioinformatics analysis. This workflow can aid the investigation of EV-circRNAs and their potential role in disease pathology.
