Abstract

Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are a type of circular DNAs originating from but independent of chromosomal DNAs. Nowadays, with the rapid development of sequencing and bioinformatics, the accuracy of eccDNAs detection has significantly improved. This advancement has consequently enhanced the feasibility of exploring the biological characteristics and functions of eccDNAs. This review elucidates the potential mechanisms of eccDNA generation, the existing methods for their detection and analysis, and their basic features. Furthermore, it focuses on the biological functions of eccDNAs in regulating gene expression under both physiological and pathological conditions. Additionally, the review summarizes the clinical implications of eccDNAs in human cancers and health.

期刊介绍: Molecular Cancer is a platform that encourages the exchange of ideas and discoveries in the field of cancer research, particularly focusing on the molecular aspects. Our goal is to facilitate discussions and provide insights into various areas of cancer and related biomedical science. We welcome articles from basic, translational, and clinical research that contribute to the advancement of understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. The scope of topics covered in Molecular Cancer is diverse and inclusive. These include, but are not limited to, cell and tumor biology, angiogenesis, utilizing animal models, understanding metastasis, exploring cancer antigens and the immune response, investigating cellular signaling and molecular biology, examining epidemiology, genetic and molecular profiling of cancer, identifying molecular targets, studying cancer stem cells, exploring DNA damage and repair mechanisms, analyzing cell cycle regulation, investigating apoptosis, exploring molecular virology, and evaluating vaccine and antibody-based cancer therapies. Molecular Cancer serves as an important platform for sharing exciting discoveries in cancer-related research. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to communicate information to both specialists and the general public. The online presence of Molecular Cancer enables immediate publication of accepted articles and facilitates the presentation of large datasets and supplementary information. This ensures that new research is efficiently and rapidly disseminated to the scientific community.
