MicroRNA (miR) are a class of small non-coding RNA that are involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Altered expression of miR has been associated with several pathological conditions. MicroRNA-124 (miR-124) is an abundantly expressed miR in the brain as well as the thymus, lymph nodes, bone marrow, and peripheral blood mono-nuclear cells. It plays a key role in the regulation of the host immune system. Emerging studies show that dysregulated expression of miR-124 is a hallmark in several cancer types and it has been attributed to the progression of these malignancies. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the role of miR-124 as a promising therapeutic gateway in oncology.
微小RNA(miR)是一类参与转录后基因调控的小型非编码RNA。miR表达的改变与多种病理状况相关。微小RNA - 124(miR - 124)是在脑以及胸腺、淋巴结、骨髓和外周血单核细胞中大量表达的miR。它在宿主免疫系统的调节中起关键作用。新兴研究表明,miR - 124表达失调是几种癌症类型的一个标志,并且它被认为与这些恶性肿瘤的进展有关。在本综述中,我们全面总结了miR - 124作为肿瘤学中一个有前景的治疗切入点的作用。
