MicroRNA-associated carcinogenesis in lung carcinoma

J Cancer Res Ther. 2018 Jan-Mar;14(2):249-254. doi: 10.4103/0973-1482.187283.

Abstract

Lung carcinoma is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide; it has been regarded as the origin of death by melanoma universally. Frequently, lung carcinomas identified in progressive phase and have lowermost roots of existence in any category of the cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small having 18-25 nucleotides extended noncoding RNAs regulating gene expression and elaborate in a wide assortment of cellular progressions also. Cumulative indications propose that, miRNA plays imperative and multifarious roles in cases of human lung cancer genetics. Collective studies concern with research related to lung sarcoma by using biomarkers which determine phenotypic signatures on behalf of diagnostic, prognostic, as well as therapeutic rationale. Furthermore, a number of aspects are indispensable to be deliberated while opting for miRNAs as clinical biomarkers in lung cancers, which have been recognized as imperative targets for therapeutic interventions in recent times. This review focuses inclusive information over the biogenesis of miRNA and considerable risk dynamics associated with the genetics of human lung cancer.

Keywords: Biogenesis of microRNA; clinical biomarker; phenotypic signatures; risk dynamics.
