环状RNA(circular RNA,circRNA)作为非编码RNA家族的重要成员,是一类共价闭环结构的单链RNA,没有多聚腺苷酸尾和5'-与-3'末端,显示出高度稳定性、丰富性和物种保守性等特点.近年来研究发现,circRNA与肿瘤化疗耐药、恶性进展等在内的多种生物学进程密切相关,发挥着极其重要的作用.外泌体是由机...

Exosomal Circular RNAs Mediates Chemotherapy Resistance in Tumors

As an important member of the non-coding RNA family, circRNA is a kind of single-stranded RNA with a covalently closed loop structure without a polyadenylated acid tail and 5′-3′ end, showing high stability, abundance and conservation across species characteristics. Recent studies have shown that circRNA plays an important role in many biological processes, including chemotherapy resistance and malignant progression. Exosomes are small extracellular phospholipid bilayer vesicles with a diameter of 30-150 nm that are secreted by living cells. They can be used as carriers to encapsulate and transfer functional molecules. Exosomes are important mediators of communication between tumor cells and stromal cells. They can play a role in the transmission of chemoresistance by transferring circRNA. As chemotherapy resistance is still a huge obstacle to the prognosis of cancer, the research of exosomal circRNA-mediated tumor chemotherapy resistance is at the forefront of academic research, which is a blue ocean with important significance. In this paper, we summarized the latest research progress in the aspects of exosome delivery of circRNA, the mechanism of exosome sorting non-coding RNA cargo, circRNA-mediated tumor chemotherapy resistance, exosome delivery of circRNA-mediated tumor chemotherapy resistance and its potential clinical application, which may provide a reference for the research of tumor chemotherapy resistance.
