MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs comprising 19-24 nucleotides that indirectly control gene expression. In contrast to other (ncRNAs), circular (circRNAs) defined by their covalently closed loops, forming covalent bonds between the 3’ and 5’ ends. circRNAs regulate expression interacting with miRNAs at transcriptional or post-transcriptional levels. Accordingly, many biological events related cancer, including cell proliferation, metabolism, cycle, apoptosis. Both involved in pathogenesis of diseases, such as breast cancer. This review focuses on latest discoveries dysregulated highlighting potential biomarkers for clinical diagnosis, prognosis, chemotherapy response.

Abstract Dysregulated ERα signaling is responsible for endocrine resistance and eventual relapse in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER + ) breast cancer. Thus, identifying novel regulators necessary to fully understand the mechanisms of resistance. Here, we identified circRNA-SFMBT2 be highly expressed ER cancer cells comparison − found that high levels were related larger tumor size poor prognosis In vitro vivo experiments confirmed level was positively correlated protein level, implying a regulatory role signaling. Moreover, biogenesis could facilitated via RNA-binding quaking (QKI), biologically elevated expression promoted cell growth tamoxifen Mechanistically, exhibits specific tertiary structure endows it binding affinity allows interact AF2 DBD domains ERα, enforcing recruitment RNF181 AF1 domain ERα.

The molecular mechanisms underlying estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast carcinogenesis and drug resistance remain incompletely understood. Elevated expression of CCND1 is linked to enhanced invasiveness, poorer prognosis, therapies in ER-positive cancer. In this study, we identify a highly expressed circular RNA (circRNA) derived from FOXK2, called circFOXK2, which plays key role stabilizing mRNA, thereby promoting cell cycle progression, growth, endocrine therapy cancer cells. Mechanistically, circFOXK2 binds directly mRNA via RNA-RNA pairing recruits the RNA-binding protein ELAVL1/HuR, enhancing levels. This results activation CCND1-CDK4/6-p-RB-E2F signaling axis, driving transcription downstream E2F target genes facilitating G1/S transition during progression. Notably, targeting with antisense oligonucleotide (ASO-circFOXK2) suppresses growth both vitro vivo. Moreover, combination ASO-circFOXK2 tamoxifen exhibits synergistic effects restores sensitivity tamoxifen-resistant Clinically, high positively correlated levels lines patient tumor tissues. Overall, our findings reveal critical oncogene positioning as potential therapeutic for clinical settings.

The role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating chemoresistance has gained significant attention due to their ability transfer bioactive molecules between drug-resistant and drug-sensitive cells. In particular, they have been demonstrated play an active part breast cancer by the horizontal genetic protein material. This review highlights EVs, particularly miRNA cargo, driving drug resistance cancer. EVs derived from chemoresistant cells carry miRNAs lncRNAs, which are known modulate gene networks involved cell proliferation survival. These cargo suppress apoptosis targeting pro-apoptotic genes like PTEN BIM, promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through regulation pathways such as TGF-β Wnt/b-catenin, contribute tumor growth enhancing angiogenesis modulating microenvironment. Beyond RNA-mediated effects, also functional proteins, including P-glycoprotein Hsp70, impact cellular metabolism survival pathways. Our findings underscore significance chemoresistance, suggesting potential involvement possible prognostic factors predict therapy response therapeutic targets combination with usual therapy.
