非编码微小RNA在胆囊癌中的表达及功能

Expression and function of microRNAs in gallbladder cancer

  • 摘要: 微小RNA(miRNAs)是一类长度为18~25个核苷酸的内源性单链小分子非编码RNA,通过与靶蛋白 mRNA 3′端非编码区互补结合,抑制mRNA转录后靶蛋白的表达或通过降解mRNA调节特定基因的表达。其在细胞的增殖、分化和凋亡等方面发挥重要的生理作用。运用实验生物学及生物信息学方法对与肿瘤相关的miRNAs进行研究成为当前的热点。笔者主要介绍miRNAs在胆囊癌的发生、发展、转移及预后中的作用。

     

    Abstract: MicroRNAs are a kind of small endogenous nonproteincoding singlestranded RNA,which are 18 to 25 nucleotides long.They either regulate expression of specific genes through the degradation of mRNA or repress expression of target protein of mRNA postoperation by binding with the 3′ untranslated region of targeting mRNAs. It produces important physiological effects on cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. The use of experimental biology and bioinformatics methods for research of tumorassociated miRNAs has become research focus. In this paper, the role of miRNAs in the oncogenesis, development, metastasis and prognosis of gallbladder cancer is mainly introduced.
