Dysregulated circular RNAs in medulloblastoma regulate proliferation and growth of tumor cells via host genes.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been demonstrated to be involved in various biological processes. Nevertheless, the function of circRNAs in medulloblastoma (MB) is still unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the expression profiles of circRNAs and related mechanisms for regulating the proliferation and growth of tumor cells in MB. The expression profiles of circRNAs were screened from four normal cerebellum and four MB samples using a HiSeq Sequencer. Bioinformatic analysis was employed to predict the interaction between circRNAs and mRNAs in MB. Subsequently, the expression levels of eight differential circRNAs [circ-SKA3 (hsa_circ_0029696), circ-DTL (hsa_circ_0000179), circ-CRTAM, circ-MAP3K5 (hsa_circ_0006856), circ-RIMS1-1 (hsa_circ_0132250), circ-RIMS1-2 (hsa_circ_0076967), ci
