Summary: The study reveals that circ-0005105 is upregulated in PDAC tissues and cells, promoting cellular proliferation and invasion. By modulating the miR-20a-3p-COL11A1 axis, circ-0005105 activates epithelial-mesenchymal transition and is associated with malignant clinical phenotype and poor prognosis in PDAC patients.

Summary: This study revealed that circRNA trefoil factor 1 (circ-TFF1) plays a crucial role in breast cancer (BC) progression by regulating the miR-338-3p/FGFR1 axis, suppressing BC cell proliferation, invasion, and glycolysis. The findings suggest circ-TFF1 as a promising therapeutic target for BC.

Summary: Recent evidence shows that circ-ITCH exerts an inhibitory effect on the progression of papillary thyroid cancer by affecting the circ-ITCH/miR-22-3p/CBL axis. The A allele in rs4911154 is associated with shorter doubling time of thyroid nodules and decreased CBL expression, contributing to increased malignancy.

Summary: Circ-SCMH1 is upregulated in DDP-resistant OSCC cells and contributes to chemoresistance via the circ-SCMH1/miR-338-3p/LIN28B axis. EVs derived from DDP-resistant OSCC cells can transfer circ-SCMH1 to parental cells, enhancing chemoresistance.

Summary: This study revealed the important role of circular RNA circ-0007022 in radiotherapy resistance of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Circ-0007022 sponged miR-338-3p and upregulated downstream target neuropilin-1 (NRP1), activating epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and PI3K/Akt pathway, resulting in enhanced radiation resistance of ESCC cells. Knock-down of NRP1 could reverse this phenomenon. Thus, circ-0007022 may serve as a therapeutic target for ESCC patients.

Summary: The circular RNA circRBM23 is found to be down-regulated in osteoporosis (OP) patients and has a role in promoting the switch from adipogenic to osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by acting as a sponge for miR-338-3p. This research provides insights into the lineage switch of MSCs and suggests circRBM23 as a potential target for diagnosing and treating OP.

Summary: Circular RNA (circRNA), specifically circ-ZNF644, has been found to play a role in the development of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). The high expression of circ-ZNF644 in AKI patients suggests its involvement in the disease. Knockdown of circ-ZNF644 can alleviate LPS-induced kidney tubular epithelial cell injury through the miR-335-5p/HIPK1 axis.

Summary: The study revealed that circRNA ACAP2 contributes to the progression and radioresistance of colorectal cancer by promoting cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and inhibiting apoptosis. This effect is partly mediated through targeting the miR-143-3p/FZD4 axis and modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in CRC cells.
