During the last years, an increasing number of circRNAs have been identified to play a role in diseases associated with oxidative stress [56], such as circular sodium/calcium exchanger 1 (circNCX1), mediating ischemic myocardial injury [57] or circular CDKN2B Antisense RNA 1 (circANRIL), reducing vascular endothelial injury, oxidative stress and inflammation in rats with coronary atherosclerosis [58]. This evidence concerns the gene SLC8A1 and coronary atherosclerosis.
