MicroRNA are endogenous molecules which negatively regulate the expression of a variety of genes. These tiny non coding RNA molecules--18 to 25 nucleotides in length--repress, with efficiency and specificity- translation of target mRNA into protein, according to a process akin to RNA interference. MiRNA are critical in the development of plants and mammals since they play a key role on proteins which regulate the strict spatiotemporal control of each tissue. Very recent reports published during 2005 summer show miRNA as also involved in oncogenesis. Specific miRNA elicit oncogenic and antiapoptotic properties in lymphoma models and glioblastoma, respectively. The expression profile of the two hundred miARN, so far identified, reflects the tumor tissue lineage, leading to a potential tool for diagnosis. The occurrence of miRNA in solid tumors and haematological neoplasia opens new avenues for understanding of oncogenesis and, likely, for management of cancer diseases.

Objectives: To explore the mechanism by which (PSD) inhibits invasion and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
Methods: The public databases were used to identify the potential targets of PSD and the invasion and metastasis targets of TNBC to obtain the intersection targets between PSD and TNBC. The "PSD-target-disease" interaction network was constructed and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis was performed to obtain the core targets, which were analyzed for KEGG pathway and GO functional enrichment.

The article provides a thorough and up-to-date analysis of the role that microRNAs (miRNAs) within the realm of cancer therapy, paying specific attention to their diagnostic, prognostic as well as therapeutic capabilities. The miRNAs (small non-coding RNAs) are the current major genes that regulate gene expression. They are a key factor in the genesis of cancer.

Leukemia covers a broad category of cancer malignancies that specifically affect bone marrow and blood cells. While different kinds of leukemia have been identified, effective treatments are still lacking for most forms, and even those treatments considered effective can lead to relapses. MicroRNAs, or miRNAs, are short endogenous non-coding single-stranded RNAs that help control the epigenetics of gene expression.

The role of micro ribonucleic acids (microRNAs) in p53-signaling cellular stress has been studied. MicroRNAs are the small non-coding RNAs, which regulate genes expression at post-transcriptional level.
