Telomerase is a nucleoprotein reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomere, a protective structure at the ends of the chromosome, and is active in cancer cells, stem cells, and fetal cells. Telomerase immortalizes cancer cells and induces unlimited cell division by preventing telomere shortening. Immortalized cancer cells have unlimited proliferative potential due to telomerase activity that causes tumorigenesis and malignancy. Therefore, telomerase can be a lucrative anti-cancer target. The regulation of catalytic subunit of telomerase (TERT) determines the extent of telomerase activity. miRNAs, as an endogenous regulator of gene expression, can control telomerase activity by targeting TERT mRNA. miRNAs that have a decreasing effect on TERT translation mediate modulation of telomerase activity in cancer cells by binding to TERT mRNA and regulating TERT translation. In this review, we provide an update on miRNAs that influence telomerase activity by regulation of TERT translation.
