| pubmed-article:20363096 | pubmed:abstractText | MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate the gene expressions at the posttranscriptional level, subsequently control crucial physiological processes. Recent evidence demonstrates that some miRNAs have the functions similar to oncogene or tumor suppressors, it may play important roles in tumorigenesis. MiRNA expression profiles may become useful biomarkers for cancer diagnostics, prognosis and prediction of response to treatment, and it could be a powerful tool for cancer prevention and therapeutics. | lld:pubmed |
