However, there are no effective early diagnosis methods at present for patients to cure timely. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) as a special novel, stable, and conserved non-coding RNA in mammalian cells have been reported to be widely involved in the processes of cancer disease. Yet, it is still a puzzle which specific circRNAs are involved in the development of early stage lung adenocarcinoma. Here, tumour samples and paired adjacent normal tissues from 4 patients with early stage lung adenocarcinoma were selected for investigating the expression profile of circRNAs by using the high-throughput circRNA microarray. Bioinformatic analyses were conducted to screen those differentially expressed circRNAs. This work illustrates that clusters of circRNAs are aberrantly expressed in early stage lung adenocarcinoma, which might be able to provide potential targets for the early diagnosis of this disease and new genetic insights into lung cancer.
