Microarray; Bioinformatics Analysis
The DUcircRNA-regulated hub genes/modules were closely associated with pathological stage, patient survival, and B-cell immune infiltration (circRNA implication is indirect).
hsa_circRNA_101408 is upregulated in HCC and forms multiple predicted ceRNA axes, including miR-136-5p/E2F1, miR-145-5p/H2AFX, and miR-383-5p/TOP2A. Through these axes it is implicated in promoting HCC progression, with downstream hub genes enriched in cell-cycle and angiogenesis-related processes.
