Epithelial ovarian cancer is responsible for the majority of ovarian malignancies, and its highly invasive nature and chemoresistant development have been major obstacles to treating patients with mainstream treatments. In recent decades, the significance of microRNAs (miRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) has been highlighted in ovarian cancer development. This hidden language between these RNAs has led to the discovery of enormous regulatory networks in ovarian cancer cells that substantially affect gene expression. Aside from providing ample opportunities for targeted therapies, circRNA- and lncRNA-mediated ceRNA network components provide invaluable biomarkers. The current study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the recent findings on the significance of these ceRNA networks in the hallmarks of ovarian cancer oncogenesis, treatment, diagnosis, and prognosis. Also, it provides the authorship with future perspectives in the era of single-cell RNA sequencing and personalized medicine.
上皮性卵巢癌是大多数卵巢恶性肿瘤的病因,其高度侵袭性和化疗耐药性的发展一直是主流治疗方法治疗患者的主要障碍。近几十年来,微小RNA(miRNA)、环状RNA(circRNA)、长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)和竞争性内源RNA(ceRNA)在卵巢癌发展中的重要性已得到凸显。这些RNA之间的这种隐藏语言导致在卵巢癌细胞中发现了大量影响基因表达的调控网络。除了为靶向治疗提供充足机会外,circRNA和lncRNA介导的ceRNA网络成分还提供了宝贵的生物标志物。本研究对这些ceRNA网络在卵巢癌发生、治疗、诊断和预后的特征方面的最新发现进行了全面且最新的综述。此外,它还为单细胞RNA测序和个性化医学时代的未来发展提供了作者的观点。
