MicroRNAs might be promising biomarkers of human gliomas.

چکیده
Recently, altered expression levels of several microRNAs have been observed in gliomas, the most frequent primary brain tumor in adults. To review whether microRNAs might be promising biomarkers of human gliomas, we comprehensively searched the Cochrane Library, Medline and EMbase from 1966 to 2010 with the language limitation of English. We found that further understanding of the functions of miRNAs in specific cellular events is needed; the continuous technological advances in accurate and cost-effective miRNAs detection provide the prospect of a very promising role for miRNAs as novel diagnostic biomarkers of gliomas.

High-grade gliomas are the most aggressive and devastating brain neoplasms. Therefore much effort is put on understanding their background as well as development of new effective diagnostic and therapeutic methods. However, until now the genetic only approach has not provided a satisfactory answer. Recently, it has been shown that the epigenetic issue is important for high-grade gliomas' develo...

Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer with significant morbidity and mortality. Recently, numerous studies demonstrated that microRNAs are emerging as diagnostic biomarkers for bladder cancer. Specific miRNA profiles have been identified for several samples from patients with bladder cancer. MicroRNAs are noncoding RNA molecules of approximately 23 nucleotides that play important roles...

متن کاملMicroRNAs in Human Malignant Gliomas
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a new class of small noncoding RNA molecules that regulate a wide spectrum of gene expression in a posttranscriptional manner. MiRNAs play crucial roles in tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, invasion, and apoptosis for various types of tumor. Recent studies have identified dysregulation of specific miRNAs in malignant gliomas. Global expression profiling of miRNAs has revealed sev...
متن کاملThe Role of miRNAs in Angiogenesis, Invasion and Metabolism and Their Therapeutic Implications in Gliomas
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding, endogenous RNA molecules that function in gene silencing by post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. The dysregulation of miRNA plays a pivotal role in cancer tumorigenesis, including the development and progression of gliomas. Their small size, stability and ability to target multiple oncogenes have simultaneously distinguished miRNAs as att...
