Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE)is a major cause of newborn mortality and childhood disability.Despite hypothermia treat-ment being the current standard method,it has its limitations and often produces unsatisfactory out-comes.Additionally,due to time and equipment constraints,hypothermia treatment cannot be promptly administered,leading to high mortality rates or varying levels of neurological impairments even after treatment.Hence,the exploration of al-ternative and effective treatment methods for HIE has become a challenging and highly researched topic in the field of neonatology.Research has shown that HIE induces intricate changes in the neurological system at the physiological,cellular,and molecular levels.Circular RNA(circRNA)exhib-its high expression in the central nervous system and plays a role in regulating physiological and pathophysiological processes.Therefore,circRNA holds promise as a potential therapeutic target for HIE.This article provides a comprehensive over-view of the regulatory effects of circRNA on differ-ent types of neural cells in HIE,aiming to offer new theoretical foundations for the treatment of HIE.
