Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a common and deadly cancer. Despite numerous efforts, no reliable biomarker is available for daily clinical practice. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are an abundant, stable and conserved class of RNA molecules that exhibit tissue/developmental-stage-specific expression (Salzman et al., 2012; Jeck et al., 2013; Memczak et al., 2013). CircRNAs play a crucial role in disease, especially in cancer, and provide new potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for disease (Hansen et al., 2013; Qu et al., 2015).This research was designed to explore the expression profile of circRNAs in PDAC to serve as new diagnosis and treatment strategies for PDAC. Microarray and sample annotation data were deposited in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) under accession number GSE69362.
