MiR-106b-25 Promotes Chemoresistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Via Abolishing Multiple Apoptotic Pathways

Introduction: Chemoresistance and disease relapse remain the main obstacles responsible for treatment failure in leukemia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play essential roles in various physiological and pathological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, and cancer development. The miR-106b-25 cluster consists of three miRNAs: miR-106b, miR-93 and miR-25. We have previously reported that miR-106b-25 was associated with chemoresistance by negatively regulated EP300 in breast cancer, but its role in hematological malignancies has not yet been elucidated. Here, we aim to clarify the biological role and underlying mechanisms of miR-106b-25 on drug resistance in leukemia.
