Research Progress on miR-143 and miR-145 in Esophageal Cancer

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is one of the malignancies that with high occurrence in China. Its high morbidity and mortality have caused huge disease burden for the society. Therefore, it is getting necessary to elucidate the molecular mechanisms regarding the onset and progression of esophageal cancer. Increasing studies suggest that miR-143 and miR-145 are differentially expressed and deeply involved in the progression, chemotherapy resistance, radiotherapy resistance and other processes in esophageal cancer. The two miRNAs also associate with the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer. Discussing the roles of miR-143 and miR-145 in esophageal cancer may further contribute to ascertain their relevant molecular mechanisms and clarify the value of the two miRNAs as potential biomarkers and molecular targets, in an attempt to provide new insights for the clinical treatment of esophageal cancer.
