Purpose: Accumulating evidence demonstrates that circRNAs regulate diverse cellular processes and cancer progression. However, it remains unclear whether circRNAs play any functional role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Materials And Methods: The significance of circRNA_100876 in ESCC was analyzed by studying circRNA_100876 expression in ESCC tissues and the association between circRNA_100876 expression and clinicopathologic parameters. The biological effects of circRNA_100876 knockdown by lentivirus-mediated siRNAs on cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and migration were investigated in vitro and in vivo.
Results: CircRNA_100876 expression was upregulated (<0.05) and was negatively correlated with survival outcome (<0.05) in ESCC. Inhibition of proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition progression was confirmed after circRNA_100876 depletion.
Conclusion: Dysregulation of circRNA_100876 expression leads to poor prognosis in ESCC by accelerating cell proliferation and metastasis.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) comprise a group of noncoding RNAs with a circular conformation being constructed by either classic spliceosome-mediated or lariat-kind of splicing. They have tissue and temporal specificity and are involved in different biological functions. A vast body of literature has demonstrated critical roles of circRNAs in the formation or progression of neoplasms.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the correlation between circRNA-100876 and the clinicopathological parameters of patients with colorectal cancer (Cc).
Patients And Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was applied to detect the circRNA-100876 expression in Cc tissues and cell lines. Overall survival analysis was carried out to explore the correlation between circRNA-100876 and the prognosis of Cc patients by Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank method.

The present study aimed to investigate the biological function and relative mechanisms of circRNA_100876 in gastric cancer (GC). To this end, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to examine the expression of circRNA_100876 and miR-665 in GC tissues and cells, and circRNA_100876 expression was depleted by the transfection of circ_100876-targeting siRNAs. CCK-8, flow cytometry, and Transwell assays were applied to examine GC cell cycle distribution, proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion abilities.

Dysregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) often contribute to the occurrence and development of various tumors; however, the function and mechanism of circRNAs are largely unknown in human bladder cancer (BC). In the present study, dysregulated circRNAs between BC and adjacent non‑neoplastic bladder tissues were analyzed by circRNA microarray. We randomly selected 10 upregulated and five downregulated circRNAs for validation by quantitative real‑time PCR.

Background: Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis. CircRNA-100876 has been considered to be involved in NSCLC. However, the mechanism by which circRNA_100876 mediated the progression of NSCLC remains unclear.
