Riddle of the Sphinx: Emerging role of circular RNAs in cervical cancer.
Pathology, Research and Practice 2024 April 18
Cervical cancer is a prominent cause of cancer-related mortality among women, with recent attention directed toward exploring the involvement of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in this particular cancer. CircRNAs, characterized by a covalently closed loop structure, belong to a class of single-stranded non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules that play crucial roles in cancer development and progression through diverse mechanisms. The abnormal expression of circRNAs in vivo is significantly associated with the development of cervical cancer. Notably, circRNAs actively interact with miRNAs in cervical cancer, leading to the regulation of diverse signaling pathways, and they can contribute to cancer hallmarks such as self-sufficiency in growth signals, insensitivity to antigrowth signals, limitless proliferation, evading apoptosis, tissue invasion and metastasis, and sustained angiogenesis. Moreover, the distinctive biomedical attributes exhibited by circRNAs, including their abundance, conservation, and stability in body fluids, position them as promising biomarkers for various cancers. In this review, we elucidate the tremendous potential of circRNAs as diagnostic markers or therapeutic targets in cervical cancer by expounding upon their biogenesis, characteristics, functions, and databases, highlighting the novel advances in the signaling pathways associated with circRNAs in cervical cancer.
