摘要
微小RNA(m icroRNAs,m iRNAs)是一类22个核苷酸左右的非编码调控RNAs,它可以通过切割mRNA或者是抑制翻译两种机制,在转录后水平发挥调控动植物生长发育的重要作用。最近,大量有关文献证实,哺乳动物中m iRNAs可能调控了大量的靶基因,从而影响多种生物学功能。许多从小鼠骨髓细胞中克隆而来的m iRNAs,在各种造血细胞系中受到不同的调控,而其中一些m iRNAs与白血病等造血系统恶性肿瘤有关。
microRNAs (miRNAs) are class of 22 nucleotide non-coding regulatory RNAs, which plays important regulatory roles in animal and plant development at the post-transcriptional level. Such functions are conducted either through mRNA cleavage or translational repression. Recently plenty of papers demonstrated that miRNAs in mammals may control a surprisingly wide variety of genes, thus impacting many aspects of biology. Many miRNAs cloned from mouse bone marrow cells are differentially regulated in various hematopoietic lineages, and some of them are linked to hematological malignancies (e. g. Leukemia). This review discusses the recent advances in research on miRNAs and hematological malignancies.
