CircUSP42 Is Downregulated in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer and Associated With Poor Prognosis.

ABSTRACT: We previously showed that microRNA-182 (miR-182) might promote cell proliferation and migration in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study aimed to investigate circular RNAs (circRNAs) that interact with miR-182 and play important roles in TNBC. Thirty patients with TNBC were enrolled. One pair of tumor and adjacent tissue samples (control) were submitted for circRNA sequencing to establish the expression profile of circRNAs. Concomitantly, circRNAs aberrantly expressed between TNBC and control groups were identified, and these differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) were subjected to Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses, as well as prediction of interactions with miRNAs. The expression levels of 5 circRNAs interacting with miR-182 were validated using qRT-PCR
