摘要
Circular RNA(circ RNA),classified as a type of non-coding RNA,has gained significant attention in the field of biology due to its distinctive ring structure and functional properties.Recent research has provided evidence that specific circ RNAs have the ability to modulate disease progression through diverse mechanisms,one of which is by regulating cellular ferroptosis.Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that is driven by iron dependency and lipid peroxidation,and extensive investigations have revealed a relationship between ferroptosis and disease development.In addition to evidence that both circ RNAs and ferroptosis exert critical roles in disease progression,circ RNAs have also been shown to actively mediate the process of ferroptosis.The relationship between circ RNAs and ferroptosis therefore influences disease progression and offers novel targets for disease treatment.By directly or indirectly modulating the expression of circ RNAs that regulate the expression of ferroptosisrelated proteins,it may be possible to impact disease progression by promoting or inhibiting ferroptosis.Current research indicates such approaches may hold significant value in a wide variety of common diseases across physiological systems.This review comprehensively summarizes the findings of recent studies investigating the roles of circ RNAs in the regulation of ferroptosis in various diseases.
