Circular RNAs are a group of ancient but recently appreciated transcripts that affect carcinogenesis. An example of cancer-related circular RNAs is circ_CDR1as. It is mostly regarded as an oncogenic circular RNA, yet in bladder cancer and glioma it has the opposite effect. In gastric and ovarian cancer, both roles have been reported for this circular RNA. Circ_CDR1as has regulatory effects on miR-1270/AFP, miR-1287/Raf1, miR-7-5p/KLF4, miR-641/HOXA9, miR-219a-5p/SOX5, miR-7/HOXB13 and miR-876-5p/MAGE-A molecular axes. miR-7 is the most appreciated interacting miRNA with circ_CDR1as, since its interaction with circ_CDR1as has been validated in liver cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal carcinoma, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and osteosarcoma. The present article aims at summarization of the role of circ_CDR1as in neoplasms and its application as a biomarker in human cancers.

Circular RNA (CircRNA)s, a newly discovered type of noncoding RNAs, have been found to play a role in controlling the development and aggressiveness of tumors. Abnormal control of circRNA has been observed in various types of human cancers, including bladder cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), breast cancer, and gastric cancer (GC). CircRNAs possess binding sites for microRNAs (miRNAs) and function as miRNA sponges in posttranscriptional regulation.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), as a class of noncoding RNA molecules with a circular structure exhibit high stability and spatiotemporal-specific expression, making them ideal cancer biomarkers for liquid biopsy. Herein, a new photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor for a highly sensitive circRNA assay in the whole blood of lung cancer patients was designed based on CRISPR/Cas13a-programmed Cu nanoclusters (Cu NCs) and a -scheme covalent organic framework/silver sulfide (T-COF/AgS) composite. This -scheme T-COF/AgS composite accelerates electron transfer and produces an excellent initial photocurrent.

Background: Circular (circ)RNAs have emerged as crucial contributors to cancer progression. Nonetheless, the expression regulation, biological functions, and underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in mediating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression remain insufficiently elucidated.
Methods: We identified circUCK2(2,3) through circRNA sequencing, RT-PCR, and Sanger sequencing.

Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a commercially important crop known for its nutritional value, high antioxidant content, and use in beverages and desserts. Gulupa baciliform virus A (GBVA), tentatively named Badnavirus in the family Caulimoviridae, is a cryptic circular double-stranded DNA (dsDNA, ≈6,951 bps) virus recently reported in Colombia with asymptomatic infection of passion fruit (Sepúlveda et al. 2022).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFViroids, small circular non-coding RNAs, act as infectious pathogens in higher plants, demonstrating high stability despite consisting solely of naked RNA. Their dependence of replication on host machinery poses the question of whether RNA modifications play a role in viroid biology. Here, we explore RNA modifications in the avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBVd) and the citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd), representative members of viroids replicating in chloroplasts and the nucleus, respectively, using LC - MS and Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT) direct RNA sequencing.
