Research overview

We found that Circ-CDYL is highly enriched in early HCC plasma exosomes. We found that Circ-CDYL is highly enriched in early HCC plasma exosomes.

Key findings

CircRNAs play multiple roles in a variety of cellular processes.

We found that Circ-CDYL is highly enriched in early HCC plasma exosomes.

Moreover, EpCAM+ HCC cells and exosomes had significant Circ-CDYL levels.

We postulated that Circ-CDYL-enriched and EpCAM-positive exosomes would function as liver tumor-initiating exosomes (LTi-Exos).
