Circular RNA (circRNA) is a type of non-coding RNA molecule that affects the cellular regulatory network by sequestering microRNA (miRNA) like a sponge. This study was performed to identify differentially-expressed circRNA in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). By high-throughput sequencing, microarray circRNA expression profiles were acquired from patients with OSCCs (n = 8) and controls (n = 8), which totaled 1921 existing circRNA molecules and 10021 novel circRNA molecules. Most of the circular RNA is from exons and distributed in the No. 1 and 2 chromosomes. Eight up-regulated and down-regulated circRNA molecules were identified as differentially-expressed in OSCCs. Among this, the expression of circ_000334, circ_006740, and circ_006371 are significantly down-regulated in 42 pairs of samples, which means that these circRNA molecules might be implicated in oncogenesis and development of OSCCs.

Software platform for complex network analysis and visualization. Used for visualization of molecular interaction networks and biological pathways and integrating these networks with annotations, gene expression profiles and other state data.
View all literature mentionsWeb tool to predict biological targets of miRNAs by searching for presence of conserved 8mer, 7mer and 6mer sites that match seed region of each miRNA. Nonconserved sites are also predicted and sites with mismatches in seed region that are compensated by conserved 3' pairing. Used to search for predicted microRNA targets in mammals.
