Abstract

Oncogenic fusion gene Echinoderm Microtubule-associated protein-Like 4-Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (EML4-ALK) contributes to tumorigenesis of a subset of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recently, we demonstrated that F-circEA-4a, a tumor-promoting circular RNA (circRNA) generated from the back-splicing of EML4-ALK variant 3b (v3b), is a novel liquid biopsy biomarker for NSCLC. However, circRNAs produced from EML4-ALK gene and their roles in NSCLC are not well-characterized. Here, we identify another EML4-ALK-v3b-derived circRNA, F-circEA-2a, harboring "AA" (rather than "AAAA" in F-circEA-4a) motif at the junction site. F-circEA-2a mainly locates in the cytoplasm and promotes cell migration and invasion, but has little effect on cell proliferation. Moreover, F-circEA-2a exists in tumor, but not in the plasma of NSCLC patients with EML4-ALK fusion gene, further supporting the significant diagnostic value of F-circEA-4a for EML4-ALK-positive NSCLC. This work finds a novel oncogenic circRNA generated from EML4-ALK fusion gene, highlighting the pivotal role of circRNA in EML4-ALK-positive NSCLC development.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 April 2019.
All research outputs
#18,649,666
of 23,103,903 outputs
Outputs from Molecular Cancer
#1,304
of 1,740 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#262,390
of 342,067 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular Cancer
#23
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,903 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,740 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,067 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
