Comprehensive Analysis of circRNA Expression Profiles During Cervical Carcinogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are regulatory molecules that participate in the occurrence, development and progression of tumors. To obtain a complete blueprint of cervical carcinogenesis, we analyzed the temporal transcriptomic landscapes of mRNAs and circRNAs. Microarrays were performed to identify the circRNA and mRNA expression profiles of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) patients compared with normal controls (NC). Short time-series expression miner (STEM) was utilized to characterize the time-course expression patterns of circRNAs and mRNAs from NC to HSIL and CSCC. A total of 3 circRNA profiles and 3 mRNA profiles with continuous upregulated patterns were identified and selected for further analysis. Furthermore, functional ann
