| Biological function: |
Potential diagnostic biomarker for SCLC, especially in combination with circ-STXBP5L; not differentially expressed in NSCLC tissues. |
| Molecular mechanism: |
Not experimentally characterized for this circRNA in this study. |
| Biological pathway or process: |
not specified |
| Detected method: |
Q

| Validation methods: |
circRNA-seq; RT-qPCR; Clinical Sample Validation; Bioinformatics Analysis |
| Clinical significance: |
circ-STXBP5L alone or coupled with circ-SATB1 may potentially help distinguish between SCLC and NSCLC for diagnosis. |
| Description: |
circ-SATB1 was identified and qRT-PCR validated as upregulated in most SCLC tissues. Unlike several other upregulated circRNAs, it was not altered in NSCLC, and the authors proposed that it may complement circ-STXBP5L for distinguishing SCLC from NSCLC. |
