hsa_circ_0001649 may serve as a novel potential biomarker for HCC; expression was correlated with tumor size and tumor embolus, with ROC AUC of 0.63, cutoff value 0.0007855, sensitivity 0.81, and specificity 0.69; downregulation is associated with poor prognosis of HCC.
This study found that hsa_circ_0001649, a SHPRH-derived circRNA, is significantly downregulated in HCC tissues compared with paired adjacent liver tissues. Low hsa_circ_0001649 expression was associated with tumor size, tumor embolus, metastasis-related MMP expression, and poor prognosis, suggesting a potential tumor-suppressive role in HCC invasion/metastasis and value as a diagnostic biomarker.
