Circular RNAs as novel biomarkers with regulatory potency in human diseases.


ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a large class of noncoding RNAs characterized with closed loop structures without 3' and 5' polar ends. They can roughly be divided into exonic circRNAs, exon-intron circRNAs and circular intronic RNAs. CircRNAs are characterized with stability, prevalence, specificity and conservation, which arouse great interest in circRNAs as disease biomarkers. Their abilities to sponge to miRNAs, cis-regulate parent genes, bind to proteins and encode proteins endow circRNAs a critical role of regulation in eukaryotic cells. This concise review focuses on circRNAs as functional biomarkers and therapeutic targets in both tumor and nontumorous diseases.
