Construction of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network and identification of novel potential biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract Background The underlying circular RNAs (circRNAs)-related competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanisms of pathogenesis and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear. Methods Differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) in two Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE101684 an...

Methods Differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) in two Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE101684 and GSE112214) were identified by utilizing R package (Limma). Circinteractome and StarBase databases were used to predict circRNA associated-miRNAs and mRNAs, respectively.

Kaplan–Meier analysis, cox regression and the nomogram prediction model were used to evaluate the prognostic value of target genes.

Then, 12 circRNA-sponged miRNAs were screened by Circinteractome and StarBase, especially, hsa-miR-767-3p and hsa-miR-767-5p were significantly up-regulated and relevant to the prognosis.
