Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of closed, long, non-coding RNAs with stable expression in various tissues in different mammalian species. These most recently discovered ncRNAs are present abundantly in the transcriptome of eukaryotic cells. They play an important role in the regulation of gene expression (Shao and Jiang 2021) and in tumor development (Jeyaraman et al. 2019). Therefore they are considered potential biomarkers of toxicity and disease (Jeyaraman et al. 2019; Shao and Jiang 2021).
