Tóm tắt

BackgroundIncreasing evidence has shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved tumourigenesis and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, progression about its function in HCC is relatively slow. Here, we aimed to investigate whether plasma circRNAs could reflect the tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in HCC tumour tissues and serve as prognosis biomarker for HCC.MethodsTissue samples of patients with HCC were subjected to immunohistochemistry staining against CD8 to examine the TILs. Then, we investigated the expression profile of circRNAs by microarray between plasma of patients with HCC with high TILs and low TILs, and the differentially expressed circRNAs were validated with qRT-PCR. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software and GraphPad Prism.ResultsWe have demonstrated that patients with HCC with high TILs exhibit a significant better overall survival, suggesting clinical outcome could be predicted by TILs. Global circRNA microarray between plasma of patients with HCC with high TILs and low TILs successfully identified six differentially expressed novel circRNAs. Among them, the expression ofhsa_circ_0064428was significantly reduced in patients with HCC with high TILs but increased in patients with low TILs. Moreover,hsa_circ_0064428was negatively correlated with patient’s survival, tumour size and metastasis.ConclusionThese findings together imply thathsa_circ_0064428could be considered as a potential HCC prognosis biomarker. Future in-depth research is required to further illustrate the involvement ofhsa_circ_0064428in HCC tumourigenesis and metastasis.
