2.Research progress of microRNA-29 in tumors
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2016;43(17):775-779
MicroRNA (miRNA) is an important gene regulatory molecule involved in the occurrence of a variety of diseases and is relat-ed to tumors. MicroRNA has become a new direction of oncology research in recent years. Studies showed that miR-29 plays dual roles, as tumor suppressor and tumor promoter. The expression of miR-29 significantly differs between cancer and normal tissues. miR-29 is predicted to be a biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of certain cancer. This paper reviews the role of miR-29 in the pathogenesis of cancer.
