Abstract |
Endogenously produced microRNAs (miRNAs) are predicted to regulate the translation of over two-thirds all human gene transcripts. Certain microRNAs regulate expression of genes that are critically involved in both innate and adaptive immune responses. miRNAs have been demonstrated to function as crucial regulators of immune response under both physiological and pathological conditions. Specifically, different miRNAs have been reported to have a role in controlling the development and the functions of tumor-associated immune cells. Immune cells represent a highly attractive target for microRNA gene therapy approaches, as these cells can be isolated, treated, and then reintroduced into patients. In this chapter, we will discuss how recent discoveries on the roles of microRNAs in immune-regulation will advance the field of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. |
