Abstract

Abstract: Groundbreaking discoveries in molecular oncology have leveraged our understanding altogether to a new level. Mapping of plethora of cell signaling pathways has enabled researchers to drill down deep into the intermeshed regulatory networks which crosstalk to promote carcinogenesis and metastasis. More importantly, discovery of non-coding RNAs has added new layers of complexity to already complicated nature of cell signaling pathways. The discovery of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has opened the door to an ever-widening understanding of cellular processes that are controlled or influenced by circRNAs. In this review, we have summarized most recent advancements in our understanding related to interplay between circular RNAs and microRNAs for the regulation of NOTCH, Wnt/β‐catenin, Hippo, SHH/GLI, JAK/STAT and TGF/SMAD pathways in different cancers.
