Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are covalently closed RNA structures that play multiple roles in tumorigenesis and progression. Compared with exon‒intron circRNAs, the biological functions and implications of intergenic circRNAs in human cancer are still poorly understood. Here, we performed circRNA microarray analysis and identified an intergenic circRNA, , that was significantly downregulated in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The biogenesis of was mediated by reverse complementary matches (RCMs) and was negatively regulated by the RNA helicase DHX9. Functionally, suppressed CRC cell growth and metastasis in cell culture as well as in patient-derived organoid and xenograft models. Mechanistically, acted as a scaffold to facilitate the processing of both and in a KSRP-dependent manner, leading to maturation and subsequent repression of transcription factor RUNX1 expression. Thus, our findings establish a previously unrecognized function of circRNA in inhibiting CRC progression.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the circular RNA circ_002156 in caprine skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs), exploring its structure, authenticity, location, and expression in various tissues.
- Circ_002156 is primarily found in the nuclei of SMSCs and shows higher expression levels in muscle tissues, peaking during the differentiation stages of these cells.
- Inhibition of circ_002156 via small interfering RNA (si-circ_002156) increases SMC viability and proliferation, suggesting that circ_002156 plays a role in regulating SMC growth and differentiation.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the mitochondrial genome of a trematode parasite from wood frogs, marking the first complete sequencing for the family Pleurogenidae, which is significant due to high infection rates in these frogs and their ecological importance.* -
- The mitochondrial genome is circular and comprises 15,043 base pairs with 36 genes, including 12 protein-coding genes, and shows a strong bias towards adenine and thymine (63.75% A+T content).* -
- Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this trematode is more closely related to Prosthogonimidae than to Eucotylidae, providing valuable genetic data for future research on Xiphidiata trematodes.*

Background: Follicles are fundamental units of the ovary, regulated intricately during development. Exosomes and ovarian granulosa cells (OGCs) play pivotal roles in follicular development, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing exosomes remain elusive.
Results: High-throughput sequencing was employed to evaluate the complete transcript expression profiles of six samples (three porcine ovarian granulosa cells-exosome co-culture samples (GCE) and three porcine ovarian granulosa cells (POGCs) samples).

Fish mitochondrial genome have been largely studied worldwide for evolutionary and other genetic purposes and the structure and gene organization are commonly conservative. However, several studies have demonstrated that this scenario may present variations in some taxa, showing differentiation on the gene rearrangement. In this study, the complete mitogenome of terrestrial fish Boleophthalmus dussumieri was generated and compared with other species of the Exudercidae fishes.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are novel class of non-coding RNAs, which are involved in various functions at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level in response to a fungal pathogen (Puccinia triticina), including microRNA (miRNA) sponge, RNA binding proteins sponge, regulation of parental gene and biomarkers. Detailed analysis of wheat circRNAs is essential to accelerate the regulated expression of fungal miRNAs. Therefore, we suggest a protocol to aid circRNA identification through RNA-Seq data using various algorithms based on perl script followed by validation through divergent primer designing, standard PCR, and RT-qPCR assays.
