Study on the Function of miRNA-155 Target Using Bioinformatics Methods

Article Preview

Abstract:

MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that act at the post-transcriptional level, regulating protein expression by repressing translation or destabilizing mRNA target. We searched information about miR-155 in miRBase. Target genes of miR-155 are predicted by four miRNA target gene prediction softwares. The result shows that miR-155 was involved in proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. These results can contribute to further study on the role of microRNA in diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
