Dysregulation of circular RNAs in inflammation and cancers

Emerging lines of evidence have shown that the production of the covalently closed single-stranded circular RNAs is not splicing errors, but rather a regulated process with distinct biogenesis and turnover. Circular RNAs are expressed in a cell type- and tissue-specific manner and often localize to...

description Emerging lines of evidence have shown that the production of the covalently closed single-stranded circular RNAs is not splicing errors, but rather a regulated process with distinct biogenesis and turnover. Circular RNAs are expressed in a cell type- and tissue-specific manner and often localize to specific subcellular regions or organelles for functions. The dysregulation of circular RNAs from birth to death is linked to the pathogenesis and progression of diverse diseases. This review outlines how aberrant circular RNA biogenesis, subcellular location, and degradation are linked to disease progression, focusing on metaflammation and cancers. We also discuss potential therapeutic strategies and obstacles in targeting such disease-related circular RNAs.
