Dysregulation of miRNAs in Cancer

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate a wide variety of biological processes, including development, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore, it is not surprising that expression levels of specific miRNAs have been shown to be changed, both up- and downregulated, in many different human cancers. Active Motif offers many different products and services for studying miRNA-3´UTR interactions and performing miRNA target validation (see right column).

Researchers studying the role of miRNAs in cancer may find the miRCancer website1 to be useful for uncovering relevant publications. It contains a comprehensive, searchable database of miRNA expression profiles in various human cancers that were automatically extracted from published literature through text mining of PubMed. To ensure 100% accuracy, the curators manually confirm all miRNA–cancer associations after automatic extraction.

The table below is only a small subset of the information available at the miRCancer website; it displays links to miRNA mimics and inhibitors that are sold by Active Motif for a small number of the cancers that are listed at miRCancer (as of their Dec. 7, 2014 update). For more complete, updated information on miRNAs that have been shown to be dysregulated in cancers, go to the miRCancer website.
