Detection of serum long non-coding RNA UCA1 and circular RNAs for the diagnosis of bladder cancer and prediction of recurrence.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) may be biomarkers for the diagnosis and prediction of recurrence in tumor patients because they play an important role in tumorigenesis and progression. In this study, the expression of lncRNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) and associated circFARSA, circSHKBP1, and circBANP was investigated in serum specimens from bladder cancer (BC) patients and healthy controls using real-time PCR. When comparing patients with BC to healthy controls, the expression of lncRNA UCA1, circFARSA, and circSHKBP1 was significantly increased. The area under the curve (AUC) of the lncRNA UCA1 and circSHKBP1 signature to distinguish BC patients from controls was 0.804. The diagnostic performance of this signat
