ABSTRACT
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive malignancy in which the transformed clone is arrested during T-cell development. Several genetic and epigenetic events have been implicated in this transformation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that primarily function as endogenous translational repressors of protein-coding genes. The involvement of miRNAs in the regulation of cancer progression is well-established, namely by down-regulating the expression of key oncogenes or tumor suppressors and thereby preventing or promoting tumorigenesis, respectively. Similar to other cancers, several miRNA genes have been identified and implicated in the context of T-ALL. In this review we focused on the most studied microRNAs associated with T-ALL pathogenesis.
