Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers all over the world, which accounts for a large proportion of cancer-associated deaths. The regulatory function of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been affirmed in diverse cancers. circ_0082628, named circRNA zinc finger CCCH-type containing antiviral 1 (circZC3HAV1), has been discovered to be significantly downregulated in CRC tissues.

Methods: The expression of hsa_circ_0000520 was detected by qRT-PCR in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. A Herceptin-resistant gastric cancer cell was established.
It has previously been determined that long non-coding (lnc)RNA-zinc finger protein (ZNF)281 serves an oncogenic role in breast cancer; however, the role of lncRNA-ZNF281 in other cancer types is yet to be elucidated. The present study aimed to analyze the role of ZNF281 in gastric cancer by characterizing its activity in cancerous tissues and normal tissues using RT-qPCR. Overexpression experiments were also performed to investigate the interaction between ZNF281 and miR-124, and Transwell assays were conducted to analyze cell invasion and migration.

After approved by institutional review board, we retrospectively reviewed 20 patients with caudate CRLM treated by RFA or resection between 2006 and 2017. Comparative analysis was performed based on the different therapies, including patient characteristics, therapeutic outcomes, recurrences, and survivals.
