Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a life-threatening disease worldwide with a high mortality rate. The early diagnosis of LUAD is crucial for improving subsequent treatment and prognosis. However, biomarkers for early detection remain a clinical challenge in LUAD. Here, we aimed to develop circular RNAs (circRNAs) in circulating plasma from LUAD patients as valuable diagnostic biomarkers in LUAD. METHODS: CircRNA expression was determined by circRNA microarray in three pairs of LUAD tumour tissues and patient-matched normal lung tissues. Hsa_circ_101555 and hsa_circ_008068 were selected as potential biomarkers in LUAD tissues and plasma by RT–PCR, respectively. The diagnostic value was analysed by the area under the curve (AUC) and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) test. RESULTS: Our results showed that 6261 circRNAs were upregulated and 7238 circRNAs were downregulated in LUAD tumour tissues compared with patient-matched normal lung tissues. Hsa_circ_101555 and hsa_circ_008068 were filtered as biomarkers for early-stage LUAD. Q-PCR results showed that hsa_circ_101555 and hsa_circ_008068 were significantly upregulated in both LUAD cancer tissues and circulating plasma. Hsa_circ_101555 and hsa_circ_008068 were positively associated with tumour differentiation, tumour size and CEA (P<0.05). The ROC analysis showed that hsa_circ_101555 and hsa_circ_008068 had a better diagnostic potential compared to the traditional biomarkers (CEA, SCC, CYFRA21-1) in the detection of early-stage LUAD. CONCLUSION: The circular RNAs hsa_circ_101555 and hsa_circ_008068 could serve as novel diagnostic biomarkers for early-stage LUAD. |
