Abstract
Doxorubicin is an anthracyline recognized as an antitumor antibiotic agent. It is widely used in the chemotherapeutic regimens in different types of cancers. Resistance to doxorubicin is a major clinical obstacle and main cause of failure in cancer chemotherapy. Among different mechanisms involved in this process, the role of epigenetic factors has been highlighted. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have a prominent role in this process. Here, we summarize the recent findings on the role of circRNAs in doxorubicin resistance, particularly in breast cancer and osteosarcoma and underscore their clinical application as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in this field. Recognition of the underlying mechanism of circRNAs involvement in doxorubicin resistance will expand our understanding of chemoresistance establishment and may provide a prospect to develop circRNA-based predictive biomarkers of chemotherapy or therapeutic strategies for cancer patients.
期刊介绍：
Cell Communication and Signaling (CCS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal that focuses on cellular signaling pathways in both normal and pathological conditions. It publishes original research, reviews, and commentaries, welcoming studies that utilize molecular, morphological, biochemical, structural, and cell biology approaches. CCS also encourages interdisciplinary work and innovative models, including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches, to facilitate investigations of cell signaling pathways, networks, and behavior.
Starting from January 2019, CCS is proud to announce its affiliation with the International Cell Death Society. The journal now encourages submissions covering all aspects of cell death, including apoptotic and non-apoptotic mechanisms, cell death in model systems, autophagy, clearance of dying cells, and the immunological and pathological consequences of dying cells in the tissue microenvironment.
