Abstract:

Circular RNA(circDNA) is a new type of endogenous non-coding RNA,which is widely expressed in eukaryotes,and it has species,tissue and cell specificities. It plays a role in the development of tumors. This review mainly discusses the role of circRNA in tumor growth and metastasis,which makes a prospect of its application in diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: Circular RNA, Tumor, Cell cycle, Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation
