MircoRNAs (miRNAs) are a diverse family of highly-conserved small non-coding RNAs, which range from approximately 18 to 25 nucleotides in size. They regulate gene expression transcriptionally or post-transcriptionally via binding to the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of target message RNAs (mRNAs). MiRNAs have emerged as molecular regulators that participate in physiological and pathological processes of diverse malignancies. Among them, miRNA-145 (miR-145) played a profound role in tumorigenesis and progression of various neoplasms. In this review, we summarized the recent findings regarding miR-145, to elucidate its functional roles in cell invasion and migration of diverse human malignancies, and considered it a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis, screening, and prognosis.
微小RNA(miRNA)是一个多样化的高度保守的小非编码RNA家族,其大小约为18至25个核苷酸。它们通过与靶信使RNA(mRNA)的3'-非翻译区(3'-UTR)结合,在转录或转录后水平调节基因表达。miRNA已成为参与多种恶性肿瘤生理和病理过程的分子调节因子。其中,miRNA-145(miR-145)在各种肿瘤的发生和发展中发挥着重要作用。在本综述中,我们总结了关于miR-145的最新研究结果,以阐明其在多种人类恶性肿瘤细胞侵袭和迁移中的功能作用,并认为它是癌症诊断、筛查和预后的潜在生物标志物。
