Circ-CDYL expression, alone or combined with HDGF and HIF1AN, was reported as an independent marker for discrimination/surveillance of early HCC; combined analysis achieved AUC 0.73 with sensitivity 75.36% and specificity 66.67%.
Circ-CDYL is a human CDYL-derived circRNA specifically upregulated in early-stage HCC. It functions as a ceRNA sponge for miR-892a and miR-328-3p to regulate HDGF and HIF1AN, driving PI3K-AKT-mTORC1/beta-catenin and HIF1AN-NOTCH2-related signaling changes that promote EPCAM-positive tumor-initiating properties, proliferation, chemoresistance, and tumor growth. Clinically, Circ-CDYL alone or combined with HDGF and HIF1AN was proposed as a biomarker for early HCC discrimination/surveillance.
