Deregulated miR expression has been detected in numerous cancers, where miRs act as both oncogene and tumor suppressors. Due to their important roles in tumorigenesis, miRs have been investigated as prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers and as useful targets for therapeutic intervention. From a therapeutic point of view, two modalities can serve to rectify gene networks in cancer cells. For oncomiRs, a rational means is downregulation through antagomirs. Moreover, observations of the pathological reductions in tumor-suppressive miRs have inspired the concept of “miR replacement therapy” to enhance the amount of these miRs, thereby restoring them to normal levels. However, the clinical applicability of miR-based therapies is severely limited by the lack of effective delivery systems. Therefore, to understand the role of this new class of regulators, we need to identify the mRNA targets regulated by individual miRs as well as to develop specific, efficient, and safe delivery systems for therapeutic miRs.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscBreast cancerHypoxia inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α)MicroRNA (miRNA)miR526bmiR655Oxidative stressMigrationCyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)Prostaglandin E2 receptor 4 (EP4)PI3K/Aktadipokinesendometrial cancerestrogenshyperinsulinemiainsulininsulin resistanceinsulin signalinginsulin-like growth factorsmicroRNAmiRNAovarian cancersurvivalprognostic factorserum LDHblood biomarkercirculating microRNAplasmaimmunotherapyimmune checkpoint inhibitorsmetastatic melanomahepatocellular carcinomametastasisexosomebioinformatics analysisrenal cancerRCCccRCCmeta-analysismiRNAsnormal B-cell developmentB-CLLmiRNA-transcription factor networkregulationbiomarkertherapyprognosisdiagnosisprogressionpredictionsmokingnon-small cell lung cancermethylationmiR-584-5pYKT6snoRNA2'-O-methylationpseudouridylationmalignant melanomacancer stem cellstemnesshead and neck squamous cell carcinomacolon cancercancer stem cellsmicroRNAsdeformabilityPARPreplication stresstargeted therapybreast cancercirculating biomarkersmedulloblastomabrain tumoursubgroupsstem cellsResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesTucci Paolaedt1304525Tucci PaolaothBOOK9910580213503321MicroRNA and Cancer3027525UNINA
