Abstract:
Cerebellar degeneration-related protein 1 antisense RNA (CDR1as), also known as ciRS-7, is a circular natural antisense transcript of CDR1. It is a widely studied and powerful representative of circular RNAs. Based on its widely reported role in cancer, CDR1as is considered one of the most promising biomarkers for diagnosing and treating tumours. However, some recent studies have extensively focused on its regulatory role in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases instead of in tumours. Studies have shown that CDR1as plays a unique role in the occurrence of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases; thus, it may be a potential target for preventing and treating cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Furthermore, CDR1as has also been found to be related to signal transduction pathways related to inflammatory response, oxidative stress, etc., which may reveal its potential mechanism in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, there is no literature to summarize the role and possible mechanism of CDR1as in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, in the present review, we have comprehensively summarised the latest progress in the biological characteristics, development processes, regulatory mechanisms, and roles of CDR1as in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, aiming to provide a reference and guidance for future studies.
