Emerging evidence indicates that circRNAs participate in the regulation of many pathophysiological processes. This study aims to explore the expression profiles and pathological effects of circRNAs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP) technique was used to test 156 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients that were selected as the observation group and 156 patients with pneumonia and tuberculosis that were selected as the control group (age and gender 1:1 proximal matching principle) and the polymorphisms of the first exon -800G/A and +915G/C TGF-β1 genes. The expression of TGF-β1 levels in peripheral blood was detected using ELISA.
