MicroRNAs in cancer - from research to therapy
Biochim Biophys Acta.
2010 Apr.
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate target gene expression through translation repression or mRNA degradation. These non-coding RNAs are emerging as important modulators in cellular pathways, and they appear to play a key role in tumorigenesis. With increasing understanding of the miRNA target genes and the cellular behaviors influenced by them, modulating the miRNA activities may provide exciting opportunities for cancer therapy. Here the latest findings of which genes are targeted by each miRNA are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the deciphering of their possible mechanisms and the potential of miRNA-based cancer therapeutics.
