Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a type of recently discovered noncoding RNA. They exert their biological functions by competitively binding to microRNAs (miRNAs) as miRNA sponges, promoting gene transcription and participating in the regulation of selective splicing, interacting with proteins and being translated into proteins. Exosomes are derived from intracavitary vesicles (ILVs), which are formed by the inward budding of multivesicular bodies (MVBs), and exosome release plays a pivotal role in intercellular communication. Accumulating evidence indicates that circRNAs in exosomes are associated with solid tumor invasion and metastasis. Additionally, emerging studies in the last 1 ~ 2 years have revealed that exosomal circRNA also have effect on hematological malignancies. In this review, we outline the properties and biological functions of circRNAs and exosomes. In particular, we summarize in detail the mechanism and roles of exosomal circRNAs and highlight their application as novel biomarkers in malignant tumors.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive molecular subtype of breast cancer characterized by a high recurrence rate, poor prognosis, and elevated mortality. Identifying novel molecular targets is crucial for developing more effective therapeutic strategies against TNBC. Recent studies have highlighted the role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the progression of TNBC.

About one-third of individuals with diabetes develop diabetic retinopathy (DR), with one-tenth experiencing vision-threatening conditions such as diabetic macular edema (DME) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Current treatments only show recovery in 50% of cases, and the disease often remains asymptomatic. Therefore, novel early detection methods and new biomarkers are crucial.

Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an ovarian dysfunction disorder that significantly impacts female fertility. Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) are crucial somatic components supporting oocyte development that rely on glycolysis for energy production, which is essential for follicular growth. Hypoxia-induced exosomal circRNAs regulate glycolysis, but their biological functions and molecular mechanisms in POI are largely unexplored.

To study the effects and mechanisms of activation of human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) by exosomal RNA hsa _ circ _ 0006357 (circEZH2) derived from non-small cell lung cancer. Western blot was used to detect exosome molecular markers, reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and cell invasion assays to detect the effect of non-small cell lung cancer-derived exosomes on MRC-5 activation. A circRNA microarray analysis was performed in serum exosomes from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (collected at Ningbo University People's Hospital, September 2023), and levels of circEZH2 were measured in serum exosomes from non-small cell lung cancer by RT-qPCR analysis.
