Identification of a functional circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in infantile hemangioma by bioinformatics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Several circRNA have been reported to serve critical roles in various biological processes of human body. The present study aimed to build a circRNA-based competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and explore the regulatory mechanisms of circRNA in infantile hemangiomas (IH). Differentially expressed circRNA, miRNA, and mRNA were downloaded from the gene expression synthesis (GEO) microarray database (GSE98795, GSE69136, and GSE127487). Cancer-specific circRNA database (CSCD), miRDB and Targetscan were employed to predict the targets of RNA. A total of 855 DEcircRNAs, 69 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and 3233 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) appeared as genes that were aberrantly expressed in IH. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed based on 108 circRNAs, 7 m
