Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) with 20–30 nucleotides have recently emerged as the multidimensional regulators of cell fate decisions. Recent improvement in high-throughput sequencing has highlighted the potential role of LIN28/let-7 regulatory network in several developmental events. It was proposed that this pathway might represent a functional signature in cell proliferation, transition between commitment and pluripotency, and regulation of cancer and tumorigenicity. LIN28/let-7 regulatory pathway is one of the excellent examples of the relationship between an miRNA and mRNAs. This review article highlights the potentials of LIN28/let-7 signaling in gene regulatory pathways during pluripotency, reprogramming, and tumorigenicity.
