miR-29家族是人类重要的miRNA分子,在多数恶性肿瘤中扮演抑癌RNA分子的作用,因而呈现低表达水平,它通过上调抑癌基因表达及调控相关肿瘤信号通路等机制,抑制恶性肿瘤的增殖、分化、侵袭和转移。miR-29家族不仅能作为恶性肿瘤治疗的靶点,而且在肿瘤的诊断及预后评估方面具有重要价值。
Hsa-miR-29 family, an significant miRNA, acts as a tumor suppressor in most malignant tumors. It inhibits tumor proliferation, differentiation, invasion and metastasis by up-regulating the expression levels of tumor suppressor genes and regulating several tumor-related signaling pathways. Hsa-miR-29 family is not only expected to become a new target for malignant tumor therapy, but also has a vital role in clinic diagnosis and prognosis of tumors.
