Abstract:
There are 13 members of the Let -7 miRNAs family which is regarded as tumor suppressor gene, locating in nine different chromosome loci. Lin28 acts as negative regulatory factor of miRNA biological recurrence. By selectively blocking the processing synthesis of the Let-7 miRNAs family, Lin28 block the inhibition effect of miRNA of proto-oncogenes and interact with RNA helicase to enhance gene translation at the same time. By not quite clear mechanism, an up-regulation of Let-7 inhibits the expression and function of Lin28. In more and more studies of human tumor, Lin28/Let-7 axsis was proved to be important significance of the tumor's occurrence and development. In this paper, we research briefly the recent progress of the molecular mechanism and related influence factors of ILin28/Let-7 axsis.
