Biological functions and molecular mechanisms of exosome-derived circular RNAs and their clinical implications in digestive malignancies: the vintage in the bottle

Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are identified as a novel family of endogenous RNA molecules through ‘back-splicing’ and covalently linked at the 5′ and 3′ ends. Emerging researches have demonstrated circRNAs are stable and abundant in exosomes called exosomal circRNAs (exo-circRNA).Materials an...

description Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are identified as a novel family of endogenous RNA molecules through ‘back-splicing’ and covalently linked at the 5′ and 3′ ends. Emerging researches have demonstrated circRNAs are stable and abundant in exosomes called exosomal circRNAs (exo-circRNA).Materials and methods We searched recent studies and references to summary the research progress of exosomal circRNA.Results Recent studies have revealed that exosome-derived circRNAs including exo-CDR1as, exo-circRanGAP1, exo-circIAR play vital roles in cell proliferation and apoptosis, epithelial mesenchymal transition, invasion and metastasis, angiogenesis, immune evasion, cellular crosstalk, cancer cachexia through a variety of biological mechanisms, such as serving as microRNA sponges, interacting with RNA binding proteins, regulating gene transcription, N6-Methyladenosine modification and so on. Due to their characteristics of origin, structure, properties and biological functions, exo-circRNAs are expected to apply in precious diagnosis and prognostic indicators, improving drug and radiation resistance and sensitivity, becoming biological therapeutic targets.Conclusion We summarize the update of digestive malignancies associated exo-circRNAs in biogenesis, biological functions, molecular mechanisms, clinical implications, potential applications and experimental technique in order to effectively promote transformation and application in the future.
