Identification of circular RNA signature in bladder cancer

Circular RNA (circRNA) comprises a class of endogenous species of RNA consisting of a circular loop that is crucial for genetic and epigenetic regulation. The significance of circRNA in bladder cancer (BCa) remains to be investigated. Here we performed genome‑wide circRNA analysis of 5 paired tumour...

Sumario:Circular RNA (circRNA) comprises a class of endogenous species of RNA consisting of a circular loop that is crucial for genetic and epigenetic regulation. The significance of circRNA in bladder cancer (BCa) remains to be investigated. Here we performed genome‑wide circRNA analysis of 5 paired tumour and adjacent normal tissue samples from BCa patients via next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Next we confirmed NGS data in a separate set of 32 paired BCa samples using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that circRNA profile presented a total of 88,732 circRNA in BCa samples. Among them, 14 were upregulated and 42 were downregulated with q-values of <0.001 and fold changes of ≥2 or ≤0.5. The expression level changes of hsa_circ_0091017 and hsa_circ_0002024 in the 32 paired samples were in accord with NGS data. In conclusion, we identified a set of circRNAs that are potentially implicated in the tumorigenesis of BCa and could serve as novel diagnostic markers for BCa.
