Abstract:microRNAs (miRNAs) are short nonproteincoding RNAs, which play important roles in the cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, as well as activation of oncogenic and antioncogenic signals. Researches show that the abnormal expressions of miRNAs are closely related to the tumorigenesis, histological type, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of lung cancer. So miRNAs may be the most potential and promising therapeutic targets for lung cancer.
