Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of stable and versatile non-coding RNAs that are pivotal in the occurrence and development of some diseases, particularly tumors. Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a liver disease with substantial global impact. Despite efforts towards adequate management, the survival of patients with HBV-induced HCC has been consistently low. circRNAs regulate various physiological activities of HBV-induced HCC. This review aims to elucidate the biogenesis of circRNAs and the pathophysiology of HBV-induced HCC and comprehensively analyze the applications of circRNAs in oncology and therapeutics. In addition, this review summarizes past research achievements on circRNAs in HBV-induced HCC. Finally, the limitations of existing methodologies and circRNA research in HBV-induced HCC have been discussed to provide a blueprint for future investigations.
环状RNA(circRNAs)是一类稳定且多功能的非编码RNA,在某些疾病尤其是肿瘤的发生和发展中起关键作用。乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)诱导的肝细胞癌(HCC)是一种对全球有重大影响的肝脏疾病。尽管在进行充分管理方面做出了努力,但HBV诱导的HCC患者的生存率一直很低。circRNAs调节HBV诱导的HCC的各种生理活动。本综述旨在阐明circRNAs的生物发生以及HBV诱导的HCC的病理生理学,并全面分析circRNAs在肿瘤学和治疗学中的应用。此外,本综述总结了过去关于circRNAs在HBV诱导的HCC中的研究成果。最后,讨论了现有方法的局限性以及HBV诱导的HCC中circRNA研究的局限性,为未来的研究提供蓝图。
