PG - 153460 LID - S0344-0338(21)00121-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.prp.2021.153460 [doi] AB - Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), is the second most common malignant cancer of the head and neck after oral cavity cancer. Laryngeal cancer is associated with huge socio-economic burden worldwide. Studies have widely explored the role of non-coding RNAs, especially microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs in pathogenesis of laryngeal cancer. In addition, several studies have explored the mechanism and function of circRNAs. CircRNAs has higher stability and more extensive function models, including combining miRNA as sponge, modifying transcription, and even regulating protein translation have been developed. Therefore, circRNAs is applied as an excellent diagnostic tool and a promising candidate for development of cancer therapies. This study reviews the biogenesis and function of circRNAs, explores potential mechanism of circRNAs in LSCC, and implications and challenges in LSCC research. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier GmbH.
