Background: The deregulation of circular RNA (circRNA) is widely reported in carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of circRNA-PDZ domain containing 8 (circ-PDZD8) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression.

Methods: The histological structure of tissues was identified by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining analysis.

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are implicated in vascular aging due to their pro-inflammatory properties. Skin autofluorescence (SAF) is a measure to estimate their deposition. It is an easily quantifiable marker that has been shown to correlate with cardiovascular risk and parameters of metabolic diseases.

Ubiquitin specific peptidase 19 (USP19) is a member of the USP family and exhibits diverse roles in various biological processes, such as cell differentiation, cell cycle progression and apoptosis. There is limited knowledge regarding the role and impact of USP19 in cancer, particularly clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). To examine the function of USP19 in ccRCC, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus databases were examined to determine USP19 mRNA expression levels.
