- Abstract: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a type of endogenous noncoding RNAs with covalently looped structures. Compared with other noncoding RNAs, circRNAs have the characteristics of stable structures, high abundance and tissue-specific expression. Recent studies have demonstrated that circRNAs can act as sponges, decoys and scaffolds for microRNAs and proteins, and play an important role in skin tumors. This review summarizes recent advances in the functions and mechanisms of action of circRNAs in common skin tumors, in order to understand the way in which they affect skin tumors, and to assess the value of further research on them.
