The expression and regulation of microRNA-125b in cancers.

چکیده
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. There is a definite need for novel approaches to improve the diagnostics and treatment of cancers. The pathological processes leading to carcinoma are associated with the altered expression of a specific gene relevant to malignancy. MicroRNA-125b (miR-125b) is a small non-coding, multipurpose miRNA that plays a key role in several different biological processes. Increasing amounts of evidence indicates that miR-125b may serve as a diagnostic biomarker of certain kinds of cancers. miR-125b may be suitable to be used as a therapeutical target in several human diseases including neoplastic disease. Here, we review the latest progress in the identification and validation of the relationship between cancer-related miR-125b and cancers, and discuss the functions of miR-125b that regulates many processes of diseases, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Despite the improved therapeutic and diagnostic strategies and screening programs, morbidity and mortality of CRC is still considerable. Currently, most common approaches for diagnosis of CRC are colonoscopy and fecal occult blood test (FOBT). Because of the invasive nature of colonoscopy and low sensitivity of FOBT, ...
متن کاملMicroRNAs as a New Molecular Biomarker for Diagnosis and Prognosis of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL): A Systematic Review
MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. Several studies have described the role of miRNAs in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), including tumor suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs. Down-regulation of miRNA expression is a prominent feature of human malignancy. This down-regulati...
متن کاملMicroRNA miR-125b is a prognostic marker in human colorectal cancer.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in human cancer. Recent reports have highlighted the oncogenic aspects of microRNA miR-125b. However, the clinical significance of miR-125b in gastrointestinal cancers has not been sufficiently investigated. To this end, we analyzed miR-125b expression in colorectal cancer cases. Quantitative RT-PC...

Background/Aims MicroRNA-125b (miR-125b) has been found to regulate inflammation and acts as an oncogene in many cancers. The mechanisms of miR-125b expression during hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remain to be clarified. The present study aims to identify the factors that might regulate miR-125b expression in HCV infection. Results High expression of miR-125b was found to correlate with H...

MicroRNAs are small, non-coding sequences that regulate gene expression by inducing degradation or translational inhibition of target mRNAs. These molecules control many intracellular physiological and pathological processes.Abnormal expression of these moleculs has been described in different cancers including hematopoietic cancers. According to the type of cancer and the stage, miRNA’s expres...
