MicroRNAs(miRNAs) are small,non-coding single-stranded RNAs that can modulate target gene expression at posttranscriptional level and participate in cell proliferation,differentiation,and apoptosis.T cells have important functions in acquired immune response;miRNAs regulate this immune response by targeting the mRNAs of genes involved in T cell development,proliferation,differentiation,and function.For instance,miR-181 family members function in progression by targeting Bcl2 and CD69,among others.MiR-17 to miR-92 clusters function by binding to CREB1,PTEN,and Bim.Considering that the suppression of T cell-mediated immune responses against tumor cells is involved in cancer progression,we should investigate the mechanism by which miRNA regulates T cells to develop new approaches for cancer treatment.
