Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small, non‑coding, single‑stranded RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post‑transcriptional level to repress protein expression of target genes. Among these, miR‑181b has been found to be a critical regulatory miRNA linking inflammation and cancer. The functional significance of miR‑181b in various tumors and translational research suggests that it exhibits great potential as a predictive and prognostic biomarker. Extensive efforts are underway to identify mRNA targets and the affected regulatory networks, which may be the key to providing a better understanding of miR‑181b‑mediated signaling pathways.
