MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that play critical roles in numerous cellular processes through post-transcriptional regulating functions. The aberrant role of miRNAs has been reported in a number of hematopoietic malignancies including multiple myeloma (MM). In this review we summarize the current knowledge on roles of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of MM.
微小RNA(miRNA)是短链非编码RNA,通过转录后调控功能在众多细胞过程中发挥关键作用。miRNA的异常作用已在包括多发性骨髓瘤(MM)在内的多种血液系统恶性肿瘤中被报道。在本综述中,我们总结了目前关于miRNA在MM发病机制中作用的知识。
