Figure Lengend Snippet: Plasma circRNA expression pattern in healthy individuals and colon polyp and colon cancer patients. (A) The endoscopic diagnosis of healthy individuals (left panel) and colon polyp (central panel) and colon cancer (right panel) patients. (B) The schematic diagram of Arraystar assay performance in plasma circRNAs. (C) The differential expression of plasma circRNAs in polyp patients ( N = 5) and healthy individuals ( N = 5). The expression variation of circRNAs was assessed by the scatter plot between polyp patients and healthy individuals (left panel). The green lines represented fold change lines. The circRNAs above the top green line and below the bottom green line indicated more than 1.5-fold change of circRNAs between the two compared samples. The differential expression of circRNAs was analyzed by volcano plots between polyp patients and healthy individuals (right panel). Red points represented the differentially expressed circRNAs with statistical significance (1.5-fold upregulation and downregulation, P < 0.05). (D) The differential expression of plasma circRNAs in colon cancer ( N = 5) and colon polyp patients ( N = 5). The expression variation of circRNAs was assessed by the scatter plot between colon cancer and colon polyp patients (left panel). The green lines represented fold change lines. The circRNAs above the top green line and below the bottom green line indicated more than 1.5-fold change of circRNAs between the two compared samples. The differential expression of circRNAs was analyzed by volcano plots between colon cancer and colon polyp patients (right panel). Red points represented the differentially expressed circRNAs with statistical significance (1.5-fold upregulation and downregulation, P < 0.05). (E) The differential expression of plasma circRNAs in colon cancer patients ( N = 5) and healthy individuals ( N = 5). The expression variation of circRNAs was assessed by the scatter plot between colon cancer patients and healthy individuals (left panel). The green lines represented fold change lines. The circRNAs above the top green line and below the bottom green line indicated more than 1.5-fold change of circRNAs between the two compared samples. The differential expression of circRNAs was analyzed by volcano plots between cancer patients and healthy individuals (right panel). Red points represented the differentially expressed circRNAs with statistical significance (1.5-fold upregulation and downregulation, P < 0.05). (F–H) The composition of types in detectable circRNAs. (F) The composition of circRNA types in polyp and colon cancer patients. (I) The Venn analysis between upregulated circRNAs from colon cancer patients compared with colon polyp patients and downregulated circRNAs from colon polyp patients compared with healthy individuals. (J) The Venn analysis between downregulated circRNAs from colon cancer patients compared with colon polyp patients and upregulated circRNAs from colon polyp patients compared with healthy individuals. (K) The potential circRNA candidates were validated by performing real-time PCR in plasma from healthy individuals ( N = 15) and colon polyp ( N = 15) and colon cancer ( N = 15) patients. (L) The schematic diagram of circHADHA dynamic alteration in healthy individuals and colon polyp and colon cancer patients. **** P < 0.0001; ns, no significant difference.
