Abstract:
Differential expression of miRNAs has been linked with lung carcinogenesis. Recent studies have indicated that DNA hypermethylation can lead to silencing of tumor suppressor miRNA-encoding genes. Restoration of tumor suppressor miRNAs using inhibitors of DNA methyltransferases has been shown to suppress cell proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis implying that modulation of methylation of specific miRNAs can be used as novel therapeutic targets in lung cancer. In this review, we highlight tremendous progress which has been made in the identification of methylation-mediated silencing of miRNAs and their contribution in lung carcinogenesis along with the clinical utility of methylated miRNAs.
