Based on the predicted circ RNAmi RNA network, we then focused on hsa_circ_0000745, which was found to be down-regulated in 20 GC tissues compared with normal tissues. The hsa_circ_0000745 levels were further analyzed by q RT-PCR in 60 GC tissues and paired adjacent non-tumor tissues, as well as 60 plasma samples from GC patients and 60 plasma samples from healthy controls. The associations between the levels of hsa_circ_0000745 and the clinicopathological features of GC patients were statistically assessed. A receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of hsa_circ_0000745 in GC.RESULTS Hsa_circ_0000745 was down-regulated in GC tissues vs non-tumorous tissues(P < 0.001) and in plasma samples from patients with GC vs healthy controls(P < 0.001). The expression level of hsa_circ_0000745 in GC tissues correlated with tumor differentiation, while the expression level in plasma correlated with tumor-nodemetastasis stage. The area under the ROC curve(AUC) of hsa_circ_0000745 in plasma was 0.683, suggesting good diagnostic value. Plasma hsa_circ_0000745 level combined with carcinoembryogenic antigen(CEA) level increased the AUC to 0.775.CONCLUSION Hsa_circ_0000745 plays an important role in GC and its expression level in plasma in combination with CEA level is a promising diagnostic marker for this malignancy.展开更多
