Popis: Abstract Doxorubicin is an anthracyline recognized as an antitumor antibiotic agent. It is widely used in the chemotherapeutic regimens in different types of cancers. Resistance to doxorubicin is a major clinical obstacle and main cause of failure in cancer chemotherapy. Among different mechanisms involved in this process, the role of epigenetic factors has been highlighted. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have a prominent role in this process. Here, we summarize the recent findings on the role of circRNAs in doxorubicin resistance, particularly in breast cancer and osteosarcoma and underscore their clinical application as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in this field. Recognition of the underlying mechanism of circRNAs involvement in doxorubicin resistance will expand our understanding of chemoresistance establishment and may provide a prospect to develop circRNA-based predictive biomarkers of chemotherapy or therapeutic strategies for cancer patients.
