Potential diagnostic biomarker for HCC; ROC AUC value was 0.738.
hsa_circ_0000417 was identified from public RNA-seq data as upregulated in primary HCC tissues and was confirmed by RT-qPCR to be elevated in HCC cell lines, especially JHH-5. The study proposes hsa_circ_0000417 as a potential HCC diagnostic biomarker and suggests it may help distinguish differentiation status when combined with hsa_circ_0001438.
0.6193
Circular RNAs hsa_circ_0001438 and hsa_circ_0000417 are downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in hepatocellular carcinoma.
