Article Title: Identification of Circular RNAs as a Novel Biomarker for Ovarian Endometriosis
doi: 10.4103/0366-6999.226070
Figure Lengend Snippet: qRT-PCR validation of the four selected circRNAs. (a) The results of microarray and qPCR are shown as blue and red columns. Data that coincided with the microarray results and met the statistical cut-off are marked with * P < 0.05 and † P < 0.001. (b) Effect of menstrual cycle on the two identified circRNAs. Data are expressed as fold changes relative to the values for the proliferative phase group of controls. Both the circRNAs show no significant changes between proliferative (red columns) and secretory phases (blue columns). qRT-PCR: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; qPCR: Quantitative polymerase chain reaction; circRNAs: Circular RNAs.
Article Snippet: The Arraystar Human circRNA Array 8 × 15 K V2 Microarray (Arraystar, Rockville, MD, USA) contains 15,000 probes for 13,617 human circRNAs, all of which have been confirmed by Jeck et al .,[ ] Salzman et al .,[ ] Memczak et al .,[ ] Zhang et al .,[ ] Zhang et al .,[ ] Guo et al .,[ ] and You et al .[ ] Total RNA was first digested with Rnase R (Epicentre, Madison, WI, USA) to remove linear RNAs and enrich for circRNAs.
