Progress in understanding of relationship between microRNA-107 and malignant tumors
MicroRNA-107 (miR-107) is a microRNA that plays a regulatory role in various diseases. It plays an important role in various processes such as tumor cell growth, differentiation, proliferation, development, apoptosis, and metabolism, and is associated with various tumors. In the occurrence and development of malignant tumors, miR-107 may act as an oncogene to promote the progression of malignant tumors, and it can also act as a tumor suppressor gene to suppress malignant tumors. Thus, miR-107 is highly likely to become a new biomarker in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. This article provides a detailed explanation of the role and possible mechanisms of miR-107 in malignant tumors of different systems, and proposes our own insights into the future research directions, aiming to promote the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors.
