The authors identified a core set of four circRNAs common to all tested endothelial cell types that are associated with endothelial cell migration and cancer progression pathways.
CircRNAs were found to exhibit a remarkably unique expression profile specific to individual endothelial cell types compared to linear RNAs from the same cells, positioning them as a superior tool for endothelial cell type distinction. The authors identified distinct circRNA signatures unique to various endothelial cell types and unveiled a precise set of circRNAs common to all EC types tested, including circCARD6, circPLXNA2, circCASC15, and circEPHB4, which are associated with genes influencing endothelial cell migration pathways and cancer progression. The authors note that further research is necessary to establish clinical significance.
