miRNAs in Cancer Prevention and Treatment and as Molecular Targets for Natural Product Anticancer Agents
1 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to the 3´untranslated region of target mRNA, resulting in posttranscriptional gene silencing via mRNA degradation or translation inhibition. miRNAs are involved in many biological processes including carcinogenesis. They can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors and their aberrant expressions are intimately linked...
