The importance of hsa-miR-28 in human malignancies
MicroRNA production in tumorigenesis is dysregulated by a variety of processes, such as proliferation and removal of microRNA genes, aberrant transcriptional regulation of microRNAs, disrupted epigenetic alterations, and failures in the miRNA biogenesis machinery. Under some circumstances, miRNAs may act as tumorigenic and maybe anti-oncogenes. Tumor aspects such as maintaining proliferating signals, bypassing development suppressors, delaying apoptosis, stimulating metastasis and invasion, and promoting angiogenesis have been linked to dysfunctional and dysregulated miRNAs. MiRNAs have been found as possible biomarkers for human cancer in a great deal of research, which requires additional evaluation and confirmation. It is known that hsa-miR-28 can function as an oncogene or tumor suppressor in many malignancies, and it does this by modulating the expression of several genes and the downstream signaling network. MiR-28β5p and miR-28β3p, which originate from the same RNA hairpin precursor miR-28, have essential roles in a variety of cancers. This review outlines the function and mechanisms of miR-28β3p and miR-28β5p in human cancers and illustrates the miR-28 family's potential utility as a diagnostic biomarker for prognosis and early detection of cancers
