摘要
微小RNA(microRNAs,miRNAs)是一类具有转录后调节作用的短小的内源性非编码RNA,其中miR-15家族参与凋亡、细胞分化与周期调控、应激等重要细胞功能活动的调节,并与多种人类疾病如肿瘤、心血管疾病、神经退行性疾病等相关,具有潜在的治疗前景及干预价值。本文就miR-15家族的重要功能及治疗应用前景作一综述。
microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding endogenous short RNAs which are involved in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. miR-15 family is increasingly found to play great roles in important cell processes, such as apoptosis, cell differentiation and stress response. Growing evidence indicates that miR-15 family members are implicated in tumor, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disease. miRNAs have emerged as a new promising subset of therapeutic targets. The present paper reviewed the important function of miR-15 family and new approaches for miRNA-based therapy.
