Background/aims: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs. They have been proved to be critically involved in tumorigenesis and progression of malignancies through competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism. Nevertheless, the exploration between circRNAs and pathogenesis of breast cancer (BC) is limited. Previously, circ_0005230 was identified upregulated in BC tissues screened by circRNA microarray. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the expression pattern, functional role, and mechanism of circ_0005230 in BC.
Methods: qRT-PCR was conducted to elucidate the expression levels of circ_0005230 in BC tissues and cells. Additionally, the clinical severity and prognostic value were investigated. CCK-8, colony-forming, flow cytometric assays were performed. Animal study was conducted to validate the in vitro data. What's more, Transwell assays were induced to detect the cell metastatic properties of circ_0005230 exerts in BC cells. Luciferase reporter assay was used to measure the mechanism of circ_0005230.
Results: circ_0005230 was overexpressed in BC tissue specimens and cell lines. The overexpression of circ_0005230 was related to adverse phenotypes in the patients with BC. In addition, circ_0005230 could be regarded as a prognostic predictor in BC patients. In vitro and in vivo data demonstrated the cell growth promoting role of circ_0005230. Moreover, circ_0005230 could also promote cell migratory and invasive capacities. For the mechanism investigation, circ_0005230 was proved to be a sponge of miR-618, and expression of miR-618 could regulate CBX8 expression via targeting the 3'UTR of CBX8. Rescue assays also illustrated an oncogenic function of circ_0005230 in BC via acting as a miR-618 sponge to promote CBX8 expression.
Conclusion: circ_0005230/miR-618/CBX8 axis might play a key role in BC tumorigenesis and development.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that are widely expressed in eukaryotic cells. However, their role has been poorly understood in GC.

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common liver malignant tumor. CircRNA hsa_circ_0005230 (circDNM3OS) has been reported to exert an oncogenic role in CCA. However, the mechanisms related to circDNM3OS in CAA progression have not been fully elucidated.

Background: As circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been found to significantly involve in the onset and progression of multiple malignant tumors including breast cancer (BC), this study aims at evaluating the diagnostic and prognostic values of circRNAs in this malady.
Methods: Available databases were thoroughly searched to collect studies on the diagnosis and/or prognosis of BC using circRNA profiling. The updated Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) tool and the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) were used to assess the underlying bias of included studies.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly malignant carcinoma with high mortality rate worldwide. Emerging evidence indicates that aberrantly expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) functions crucial roles in tumor progression. In this work, we focused on a novel circRNA, circ_0005230, in carcinogenesis and development of CCA.
