Bioinformatic Analysis of Circular RNA-Associated ceRNA Network Associated with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Screening differential circular RNA expression profiles reveals hsa_circ_0004018 is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been emerged as an indispensable part of endogenous RNA network. However, the expression significance of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rarely revealed. The aim of this study was to determine the circRNA expression profile in HCC, and to investigate their clinical significances and relevant mechanisms for cancer progression. The global circRNA expres...

Erythrocytosis associated with hepatocellular carcinoma.

I N A PREVIOUS STUDY, it was shown that erythrocytosis was present in 11.7 per cent of southern Chinese patients with hepatocellular carcinoma but that the mechanism of production remained obscure.’ Plasma erythropoiesis-stimulating factor ( ESF ), assayed on the fasted rat, was not increased in four subjects studied. Subsequent reports of the existence of erythrocytosis in hepatocellular carci...

Bioinformatic identification of disease associated pathways by network based analysis

Sarcoidosis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous inflammation of unknown etiology, and seems to involve the liver parenchyma in most cases. However, sarcoidosis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma is rare. We report here a case in which a hepatocellular carcinoma occurred within the liver, which was probably involved as a result of systemic sarcoidosis. A 57-year-old Japanese man had been followed up fo...

Construction and Comprehensive Analysis for Dysregulated Long Non-Coding RNA (lncRNA)-Associated Competing Endogenous RNA (ceRNA) Network in Gastric Cancer

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a kind of non-coding RNA with transcripts more than 200 bp in length. LncRNA can interact with the miRNA as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to regulate the expression of target genes, which play a significant role in the initiation and progression of tumors. In this study, we explored the functional roles and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs as ceRNAs in gastr...
