Functional roles of circular RNAs in Alzheimer's disease.
2020
Although efforts have been made to develop therapeutic approaches, the clinical management of AD maintains a major challenge. CircRNAs are highly abundant and evolutionarily conserved in neuronal tissues in mammals. Accumulating data suggest that circRNAs regulate biological and pathological processes by sponging miRNAs, binding to RBPs, modulating mRNA stability, and being translated into peptides in various diseases, serving as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. Growing evidence demonstrates that circRNAs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of AD. Here, we summarized current studies on circRNAs involved in AD pathology, providing a theoretical basis for the use of circRNAs in AD treatment and diagnosis.
