Hsa_circ_0065149 is an Indicator for Early Gastric Cancer Screening and Prognosis Prediction. Pathol Oncol Res. 2019 Aug 20;: Authors: Shao Y, Tao X, Lu R, Zhang H, Ge J, Xiao B, Ye G, Guo J Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are an endogenous RNAs with a covalently closed cyclic structure. They have emerged recently as key regulators in the development and progression of human cancers. However, the clinical values of most circRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) are unknown. Hsa_circ_0065149, one of the dysregulated circRNAs in gastric carcinogenesis detected by circRNA microarray, was chose as a targeted circRNA in this study. We firstly enlarged sample size and identified the level changes of hsa_circ_0065149 among four stages of gastric tumorigenesis from healthy gastric mucosa, gastritis, intestinal metaplasia to GC. Then, the potential relationship between hsa_circ_0065149 expression levels and GC patients' clinicopathological factors was investigated. Moreover, the clinical significance of hsa_circ_0065149 in plasma exosomes and gastric juice were explored. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Kaplan-Meier survival curve were constructed to evaluate diagnostic and prognostic values. Finally, bioinformatics analysis was performed to excavate the potential functions of hsa_circ_0065149. Hsa_circ_0065149 expression was only significantly down-regulated in gastric cancer, not changed among healthy gastric mucosa and gastritis i...
