Dysregulated circular RNAs are closely linked to multiple myeloma prognosis, with circ_0026652 predicting bortezomib‑based treatment response and survival via the microRNA‑608‑mediated Wnt/β‑catenin pathway.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNA (circRNA/circ) profiles have been suggested to be involved in the prognosis of several types of solid tumors and hematological malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to comprehensively explore the involvement of circRNA profiles in MM prognosis. A total of 60 patients with MM that underwent bortezomib‑based induction therapy were enrolled. Next, eight patients with complete response (CR) and eight with no response (NR) were randomly selected to detect their circRNA profiles in bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) by microarray. Next, 10 candidate circRNAs were verified via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) in the BMPCs of 60 patients with MM. Finally, the molecular mechanism of circ_0026652 knockdown underlying the
