Circular RNA expression profiles in the plasma of patients with infantile hemangioma determined using microarray analysis.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that have important roles in tumor progression. Previous studies have examined the circRNAs involved in infantile hemangioma (IH) tumors. The present study compared the circRNA levels in plasma samples from patients with IH and control individuals. The circRNA expression profiles were determined using microarray in three pairs of plasma samples from patients with proliferative IH and healthy control subjects. Expression of the identified differentially expressed circRNAs was verified using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and a bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict the microRNAs targeted by the validated circRNAs. From the circRNA expression profiles in the plasma of patients with IHs, 128 differentially expressed circR
