Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma is prone to invasion and metastasis. It often receives a low diagnosis rate in the early stage but has an extremely high mortality rate. Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) is a key factor in promoting tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Circular RNA (circRNA) is involved in regulating EMT in hepatocarcinoma cells through multiple pathways, thereby affecting the occurrence and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. This article mainly reviews the research progress of circRNA related to EMT core transcription factors, circRNA that promotes EMT in liver cancer, and circRNA that inhibits EMT in liver cancer.
