Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that bind to the 3' untranslated region (3'' UTR) of target mRNAs to control gene expression post-transcriptionally. Recent indications have highlighted their important roles in a variety of pathophysiological conditions as well as human malignancies. Dysregulated miRNAs act as tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes in a variety of cancers. MiR-491 has been shown to have a major effect on tumorigenesis in multiple malignancies through binding to specific genes and signaling cascades, thereby preventing cancer progression. This review provides an overview of miR-491 expression in regulatory mechanisms and biological procedures of tumor cells, as well as the prospective possible treatment effects of various types of human cancers.
