AB  - RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate the generation of circular RNAs (circRNAs) by participating in the reverse splicing of circRNA and thereby influencing circRNA function in cells and diseases, including cancer. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that the circRNA-RBP network plays a complex and multifaceted role in tumor progression. Thus, a better understanding of this network may provide new insights for the discovery of cancer drugs. In this review, we discuss the characteristics of RBPs and circRNAs and how the circRNA-RBP network regulates tumor cell phenotypes such as proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, metabolism, immunity, drug resistance, and the tumor environment. Moreover, we investigate the factors that influence circRNA-RBP interactions and the regulation of downstream pathways related to tumor development, such as the tumor microenvironment and N6-methyladenosine modification. Furthermore, we discuss new ideas for targeting circRNA-RBP interactions using various RNA technologies.
