  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and the study on the regulatory mechanisms of the invasion and migration of HCC is of great significance to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Circular RNA (circRNA), as an important member of the non-coding RNA family, plays the role of microRNA (miRNA) sponge in hepatocytes due to its highly stable circular structure. It also plays an important role in HCC progression by regulating miRNA or promoting the expression of target genes through the competitive endogenous RNA mechanism. This article explores the mechanism of action of circRNA in the pathogenesis of HCC, so as to help with the screening for diagnostic markers of HCC and the development of effective therapeutic targets for HCC.
