Abstract

MiRNA is a small non-coding single stranded RNA(ssRNA)which is made up by 21~23 nucleotide.This ssRNA has a double effect as tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes , and plays an important role in cell proliferation , differentiation and apop-tosis.Pancreatic carcinoma is a highly malignant tumor with poor prognosis and high mortality rate , and the early diagnosis is difficult . In the last decades , growing studies highlighted the interactions between miRNAs and pancreatic carcinoma .This review provides a re-search overview between miRNAs and pancreatic carcinoma .Meanwhile , the significance of Expression Profile in pancreatic carcinoma′s diagnosis ,treatment and prognosis is also discussed .
