Increasing evidence suggests that circRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of multiple kinds of cancer. Nevertheless, the differential expression of circRNAs in prostate cancer (PCA) is rarely reported.
MATERIAL/METHOD: In our present analyses, circRNAs expression profiles were identified in PCA, based on 5 pairs of PCA and matched non-PCA tissues using circRNA chips.
A number of 749 differential circRNAs were expressed between PCA tumor and paracancerous tissues (Fold Change, FC ≥ 2.0 and < 0.05): 261 were upregulated, whereas 487 were downregulated in PCA tissues. Gene ontology and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that many of the circRNAs are related to carcinogenesis. Circ_0033074 and circ_0016064 both showed changes of maximum magnitude among differentially expressed circRNAs.
Our study detected a relative comprehensive differential map of circRNAs in PCA, which may become novel biomarkers for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in the future.
越来越多的证据表明,环状RNA(circRNAs)参与多种癌症的发病机制。然而,circRNAs在前列腺癌(PCA)中的差异表达鲜有报道。
材料/方法:在我们目前的分析中,基于5对PCA组织和匹配的非PCA组织,使用circRNA芯片鉴定了PCA中的circRNAs表达谱。
PCA肿瘤组织与癌旁组织之间有749种差异circRNAs表达(折叠变化,FC≥2.0且<0.05):PCA组织中261种上调,487种下调。基因本体论和KEGG通路分析表明,许多circRNAs与致癌作用有关。Circ_0033074和circ_0016064在差异表达的circRNAs中均表现出最大幅度的变化。
我们的研究检测到PCA中相对全面的circRNAs差异图谱,这可能在未来成为诊断、治疗和随访的新型生物标志物。
