Functions of circular RNAs in bladder, prostate and renal cell cancer (Review).
Molecular Medicine Reports 2021 May
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non‑coding RNAs formed by covalently closed loops through back‑splicing and exon‑skipping. circRNAs have been confirmed to play a vital role in various biological functions, acting as microRNA sponges and reservoirs, as well as combining with RNA‑binding proteins during the progression of multiple cancer types. Therefore, the present review evaluated recent research articles in PubMed that were published between November 2017 and September 2020. Key word search strings included: 'Circular RNA (circRNA) AND bladder cancer (BC)', 'circular RNA (circRNA) AND prostate cancer (PCa)' and 'circular RNA (circRNA) AND renal cell cancer (RCC)'. In total, >58 circRNAs were found to be implicated in urological cancers, with several of the circRNAs targeting common carcinogenic pathways, such as the AKT, TGF‑β, MAPK, VEGF and even metabolic pathways. circRNAs are important modulators of BC, PCa and RCC. circRNAs are functionally implicated in the pathogenesis of these cancer types, and have been found to act as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of urological cancer. However, to the best of our knowledge, the functions of circRNAs in tumors of the urinary system remain largely unknown and require further research.
