Table 5 MiRNAs as targets for cancer therapy

From: MicroRNA: a prognostic biomarker and a possible druggable target for circumventing multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy

Cancer type miRNA target and its role in cancer Delivery system to modulate the miRNA in vivo* Reference

  1. * The miRNA target can be modulated by anti-miRNA oligonucleotides or miRNA-expressing constructs (delivered by viral or non-viral vectors).
