  • The theory of competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) is one of the key theories in explaining gene expression regulation and biological function. This mechanism combines different RNA molecules and provides new insights into the interaction between RNAs and RNA regulatory networks. More and more studies have confirmed that ceRNA regulation plays an important role in the development and progression of tumor, most of which are mainly based on lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA and circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks. Studies have also shown that a variety of ceRNA regulatory networks are involved in the proliferation, invasion, and migration of tumor cells, drug resistance, angiogenesis, and tumor immunity, thus affecting tumor progression. This article elaborates on the regulatory mechanism of ceRNA, reviews the research advances in the role of ceRNA regulation in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma, and discusses the ceRNA regulatory networks that play a key role in this process.
