Abstract

The dysregulation of microRNAs in cancer was first reported in 2002, when a cluster of two microRNAs (miR16 and miR-15) was detected at chromosome 13q14.3, which had been proposed as one of the commonly eliminated genetic regions in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients [1]. The deletion of this miRNA cluster acts (at least partly) by increasing the expression level of the specific target of miR-15/16, which is the anti-apoptotic protein B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2). It has been found that micro-RNAs can contribute to each cancer hallmark described by Hanahan and Weinberg [2], as well affecting the clinical progression of many cancers at different stages. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
