Abstract: MicroRNA (miRNA) is closely related to the occurrence and development of neoplasms. miR139 is a tumorsuppressive miRNA and its expression is decreased in a variety of tumor tissues, while overexpression of miR139 can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and induce cell apoptosis by suppressing the expression of multiple kinds of target genes. Therefore, miR139 has potential applications in tumor diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment.

Key words: MicroRNAs, Neoplasms, Target gene
