ALV-J (subgroup J avian leucosis virus) is a kind of oncogenic exogenous retrovirus and diseases associated with ALV-J have caused severe reproduction problems in the poultry industry worldwide. However, the pathogenesis of ALV-Jinduced tumor formation is still unclear. In recent years, circRNAs are validated to be related to cancer, which prompts us to explore whether aberrant expression of circRNAs exists in ALV-J-infected tumor samples. In this study, a total of 2822 differentially expressed circRNAs were detected by RNA sequencing in the tumor livers of ALV-J-susceptible chickens (n = 3) and the normal liver samples of ALV-J-resistant chickens (n = 3), among which 2808 circRNAs in the tumor liver samples were detected as unregulated compared to those in the normal liver samples. As circRNAs are considered as miRNA sponge, we predicted top 5 miRNA targets for 24 selected upregulated circRNAs in the ALV-J-induced tumor livers. CircRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory axes were also constructed to provide clear interaction relationship among them. Furthermore, Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway analyses were performed for miRNA target genes, the result of which implied that metabolism plays a key role in circRNAs alterations in ALV-J-induced tumor livers. In summary, we identified that circRNAs are involved in ALV-J-induced tumor formation in chickens. However, the pathogenicity mechanism still needs to be further explored.
