“…As vertebrate-specific miRNAs, miR-26 family members have been detected in many different kinds of tumors and play important roles in cardiovascular disease, Parkinson's disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and many other non-tumor diseases (Gao and Liu, 2011 ; Icli et al, 2014 ; Goh et al, 2019 ; Su et al, 2019 ). The validated target genes of these miRNAs are involved in cell metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, autophagy, invasion, and metastasis (Lagos-Quintana et al, 2002 ; Li et al, 2020 ). In some tumors, the differential expression pattern of miR-26 might be related to specific tumorigenic processes.…”
