MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are well established epigenetic modifiers. There is a lot of work being done to identify the evolutionary transfer of miRNAs both at intra- and interspecific levels. In this hypothesis-driven review, we have suggested a possible reason as to why miR-150 can be a promising diagnostic biomarker for prostate cancer using theories of evolution, bio-accumulation, and interspecific transfer of miRNAs.
微小RNA(miRNAs)是公认的表观遗传修饰因子。目前正在开展大量工作,以确定miRNAs在种内和种间水平上的进化转移情况。在这篇基于假设的综述中,我们利用miRNAs的进化、生物累积和种间转移理论,提出了一个可能的原因,解释为何miR-150有望成为前列腺癌的诊断生物标志物。
