ABSTRACT
microRNAs (also known as miRNAs or miRs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that play a critical role in post-transcriptional gene regulation as negative gene regulators by binding complementary sequences in the 3'-UTR of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) leading to translational repression and/or target degradation a wide range of genes and biological processes, including cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis. The development and progression of cancer have been linked to the anomalous expression of miRNAs. According to recent studies, miRNAs have been found to regulate the expression of cancer-related genes through multiple signaling pathways in gallbladder cancer (GBC). Besides, miRNAs are implicated in several modulatory signaling pathways of GBC, including the Notch signaling pathway, JAK/STAT signaling pathway, protein kinase B (AKT), and Hedgehog signaling pathway. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the functions of miRNAs in the mechanisms underlying the pathogenic symptoms of GBC and illustrates their potential significance as treatment targets.
