Ectopic miRNA network and the crosstalk between different signalling pathways during EMT and MET

The tumor microenvironment (TEM) comprise of various cellular and molecular components such as fibroblasts, immune cells, bone marrow-derived inflammatory cells, endothelial cells, extracellular matrix (ECM), and signaling molecules. The complex crosstalk between (TEM) components and malignant cells...

description The tumor microenvironment (TEM) comprise of various cellular and molecular components such as fibroblasts, immune cells, bone marrow-derived inflammatory cells, endothelial cells, extracellular matrix (ECM), and signaling molecules. The complex crosstalk between (TEM) components and malignant cells can give rise to tumorigenesis, progression, and angiogenesis as well as micro-metastasis and macro-metastasis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding extracellular RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene silencing or degradation by base paring at open reading frame (ORF) region of the target mRNA. Recent advances in the miRNA field have driven to the understanding of multiple regulatory aspects concerning cancer biology. Aberrant miRNA expression in malignant tumors compared with normal tissue are promising biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a reversible process in which neoplastic epithelial cells expressed mesenchymal phenotypes and resulting in alteration of cell autonomous mechanisms.
