The role of miR-29b in cancer: regulation, function, and signaling

Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs with the capacity to regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. The miRNA-29 family consists of miR-29a, miR-29b, and miR-29c, among which miR-29b is the most highly expressed and is found at two genomic loci. Recently, numerous studies have demonstrated that aberrant expression of miR-29b is common in the majority of human cancers. miR-29b is known to critically affect cancer progression by functioning as a tumor suppressor. However, it may also ac… Show more

“…miR-29b discriminates between mode of apoptosis Interestingly, miR-29b is a known tumor-suppressing miRNA that induces apoptosis in different cell systems (32). This is in contrast to our findings that miR-29b protects NSCLC cells from extrinsic apoptosis.…”

“…miR-29b sensitizes cancer cells to apoptosis by targeting antiapoptotic genes, including MCL1, BCL2, AKT2, CCND2, and CDC42 (reviewed in ref. 32). It also negatively regulates proliferation and migration by targeting genes involved in the regulation of the extracellular matrix and restores erroneous promoter methylation by targeting DNMT3A and 3B.…”
