Circular RNA expression and association with the clinicopathological characteristics in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of RNAs, with higher stability and tissue specificity, which may be of value as novel clinical markers. High‑throughput RNA sequencing was used to profile the expression of circRNAs in 5 pairs of cancer and normal tissues, and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) analysis was employed to verify the results of the RNA sequencing in 45 cases of PTC. The dysregulated circRNA expression and clinicopathological characteristics were assessed and the potential roles of circRNAs in the cellular miRNA and mRNA network were predicted using bioinformatics analysis. The results demonstrated that, compared with normal tissues, a total of 53 circRNAs were dysregulated in tu
