Abstract
Tumor initiation and progression have been widely investigated and ongoing work implicates microRNAs (miRNAs) as central players. miRNAs can control proliferation and differentiation as well as apoptosis, consistent with miRNAs functioning as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Specific miRNAs have been shown to play roles in the overlapping fields of cancer stem cells and chemoresistance. In this review, we summarize existing data to elucidate the role of miRNAs in tumorigenesis and potential strategies using miRNAs for cancer therapy or as biomarkers.
