PG - 464 LID - 10.3892/ol.2023.14051 [doi] LID - 464 AB - Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the second most common malignant tumour of the head and neck with a low 5-year survival rate. There is need to identify novel biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment of LSCC. The present study identified differentially expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs/circs) in LSCC and larynx adjacent non-carcinoma epithelial specimens by analysing the circRNA microarray dataset GSE117001. hsa_circ_0081621 had highest expression among three circRNAs (hsa_circ_0015211, hsa_circ_0023326 and hsa_circ_0081621) in LSCC specimens by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The expression levels of hsa_circ_0081621 in 67 LSCC specimens were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Expression levels of hsa_circ_0081621 were analysed in relation to clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of patients with LSCC. According to FISH results, 59.7% of LSCC specimens exhibited high hsa_circ_0081621 expression. In LSCC specimens, hsa_circ_0081621 high expression was associated with lymph node metastasis and high clinical stage. High expression levels of hsa_circ_0081621 were associated with a poor 5-year overall survival rate in patients with LSCC. In addition, high hsa_circ_0081621 expression was an independent prognostic factor for patients with LSCC. hsa_circ_0081621 may participate in malignant progression of LSCC, and its high expression could be used for prognostic assessment of patients with LSCC.
