The Role of the Dysregulation of circRNAs Expression in Glioblastoma Multiforme
摘要
Primary brain tumors that were the most severe and aggressive were called glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Cancers are caused in part by aberrant expression of circular RNA. Often referred to as competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA), circRNA molecules act as “miRNA sponges” in cells by decreasing the inhibitory impact of miRNA on their target genes and hence raising the expression levels of those genes. circRNA molecules are rich in miRNA binding sites. The discovery of more structurally diverse and GBM-related circRNAs has great promise for the use of GMB prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, as well as for comprehending the molecular regulatory mechanisms of GBM. In this work, we present an overview of the circRNA expression patterns associated with GBM and offer a potential integrated electrochemical strategy for detecting circRNA with extreme sensitivity in the diagnosis of glioblastoma.
Graphical AbstractThe circular RNA (circRNA) regulates both physiological and pathological processes in glioblastoma multiforme disease. Hence, it could serve as a biomarker as well as a therapeutic target.
