miR-149 is an miRNA with essential roles in carcinogenesis. This miRNA is encoded by the <i>MIR149</i> gene on 2q37.3. The miR-149 hairpin produces miR-149-5p and miR-149-3p, which are the "guide" and the sister "passenger" strands, respectively. Deep sequencing experiments have shown higher prevalence of miR-149-5p compared with miR-149-3p. Notably, both oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles have been reported for miR-149-5p. In this review, we summarize the impact of miR-149-5p in the tumorige ...[more]
