摘要
微小RNA(micro RNAs,miRNAs)是一类不同于mRNA的非蛋白编码的小RNA,其通过结合靶mRNA的3′非翻译区(3′untranslated region,3′UTR),抑制靶mRNA的翻译或降解靶mRNA。miRNA在肿瘤发生、生长、迁移与侵袭过程中发挥了重要作用。miRNA的调控与其在肿瘤中的功能密切相关。竞争性内源性RNA(competing endogenous RNA,ceRNA)、环状RNA(circular RNA,circRNA)及RNA结合蛋白(RNA binding protein,RBP)参与了miRNA靶基因的表达调控,可能是miRNA在不同肿瘤组织及细胞中功能多样化与复杂化的原因之一。研究miRNA在特定细胞中网络调控机制的新技术是未来的新方向。
microRNA (miRNA)is a kind of non-protein-coding small RNA that is different from mRNA. miRNAs interact with the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR )of the target mRNA,resulting in either complete degradation or translational inhibition of the target mRNA.miRNAs play a vital role in tumorigenesis,growth, migration and invasion.The regulation of miRNA is closely related to its function in cancer.Competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA),circular RNA (circRNA)and RNA binding protein (RBP)as regulatory molecules are involved in the expression regulation of target genes.It may be one reason why the miRNA has complicated and diversified functions in diverse cancer tissues or cancer cells.The future direction of miRNA research is to study the latest technology to find the network control mechanism of miRNA in the specific cells.
