MiR-375 is a conserved noncoding RNA that is known to be involved in tumor cell proliferation, migration, and drug resistance. Previous studies have shown that miR-375 affects the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of human tumor cells via some key transcription factors, such as Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), Specificity protein 1 (SP1) and signaling pathways (Wnt signaling pathway, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathway) and is vital for the development of cancer. Additionally, recent studies have identified microRNA (miRNA) delivery system carriers for improved in vivo transportation of miR-375 to specific sites. Here, we discussed the role of miR-375 in different types of cancers, as well as molecular mechanisms, and analyzed the potential of miR-375 as a molecular biomarker and therapeutic target to improve the efficiency of clinical diagnosis of cancer.
miR-375 是一种保守的非编码 RNA,已知参与肿瘤细胞的增殖、迁移和耐药性。先前的研究表明,miR-375 通过一些关键转录因子(如 Yes 相关蛋白 1(YAP1)、特异性蛋白 1(SP1)和信号通路(Wnt 信号通路、核因子 κB(NF-κB)通路和转化生长因子 β(TGF-β)信号通路)影响人肿瘤细胞的上皮-间充质转化(EMT),对癌症的发展至关重要。此外,最近的研究已经确定了 microRNA(miRNA)传递系统载体,以改善 miR-375 在体内向特定部位的运输。在这里,我们讨论了 miR-375 在不同类型癌症中的作用以及分子机制,并分析了 miR-375 作为分子生物标志物和治疗靶点的潜力,以提高癌症临床诊断的效率。
