Abstract: More than 50% microRNAs (miRNAs) are located in tumorassociated genome of amplification region or fragile site, which may also act as oncogenes or tumor suppressor gene (TSG).  Recently, researches show that the expression of miR449 is lower in human gastric, lung and ovarian cancer, and may act as TSG. The abnormal expression of miR449 plays a pivotal role in carcinogenesis and progression, and elucidating its function and regulatory mechanism can provide valuable diagnostic, prognostic biomarker for cancer management.
