ABSTRACT: To evaluate the expression profiles of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and to find new PTC biomarkers. Objective: The goal of this study was to characterize the expression profiles of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), analyze their biological function, and discover new biomarkers for PTC. Methods: From June 2019 to July 2020, 68 patients admitted to Qilu Hospital and confirmed with PTC were included in this study. PTC and paired healthy tissue samples were collected and analyzed. The circRNA expression profiles of 4 pairs of samples were determined using high-throughput sequencing. Differentially expressed circRNAs were discovered to be associated with multiple related microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs using bioinformatics analysis (mRNAs). Results: 89 upregulated and 14 downregulated circRNAs were identified in PTC tissues using high-throughput sequencing (fold change ≥ 2; p < 0.05). Among the upregulated circRNAs, we identified 14 significantly regulated circRNAs that play an important role in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer using the network map of circRNA–miRNA–mRNA interactions. Following that, we validated the expression levels of seven candidate circRNAs (hsa_circ_0031584, hsa_circ_0082002, hsa_circ_0000660, hsa_circ_0067938, hsa_circ_0002483, hsa_circ_0003692, and hsa_circ_0006509) and discovered that among the circRNAs that we verified to be significantly differentially expressed Conclusions: The findings imply that dysregulated circRNAs may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PTC. We also discovered 14 circRNAs that were significantly upregulated and could be used to diagnose and treat PTC.
