| Description: |
This study discovered a novel viroid-like circular RNA, CCAV, in colorectal cancer and validated that CCAV is significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues versus adjacent tissues in a 100-patient cohort. Overexpression of CCAV in SW480 cells followed by transcriptome sequencing suggested downstream transcriptomic changes enriched in viral infection, immune-related diseases, and tumor-associated categories, but a specific mechanism was not established. |
