Abstract: MicroRNA (miRNA) constitutes a group of small (21-23 nucleotide) noncoding RNAs that functional as posttranscriptional gene regulators.miRNA involved in the tumor development which have been suggested to play a vital role in operating to promote or suppress tumor proliferation,invasion and metastasis.The application value of miRNA as a potential biomarker was also discussed.It needs to be further explored that miRNA can be applied as biomarkers in further medical paractice.
