MicroRNA-21(miR-21) is frequently up-regulated in cancer and the majority of its reported targets are tumor suppressors.Through functional suppression,miR-21 is implicated in practically every walk of oncogenic life:the promotion of cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis,genome instability and mutation,inflammation,replicative immortalization,abnormal metabolism,angiogenesis,and evading apoptosis,immune destruction,and growth suppressors.In particular,miR-21 is strongly involved in apoptosis.In this art...

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are small ribonucleic acidmolecules21to25nucleotides in length.Aftertranscription as primary miRNAs,they are processed intoprecursor miRNA(pre-miRNAs)by the enzyme Drosha,exported from the nucleus by exportin-5and furtherprocessed into th
