Molecular significance of circRNAs in malignant lymphoproliferative disorders: pathogenesis and novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets

Am J Cancer Res. 2024 Sep 25;14(9):4633-4651. doi: 10.62347/KMWB5164. eCollection 2024.

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that circular RNAs (CircRNAs) have the novel functions and molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of malignant diseases. CircRNAs have been found to be associated with the occurrence and development of lymphoproliferative diseases, impacting on lymphocyte proliferation. This article provides a review of the pathogenesis of circRNAs in malignant lymphoproliferative disorders, focusing on conditions such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and lymphoma. Additionally, it discusses the potential value of circRNAs as novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets in these disorders.

Keywords: biomarkers; ceRNAs; circRNAs; lymphoproliferative diseases.
