Many miRNAs have been shown to function as oncogenes in the majority of cancers profiled to date (Table 1). miR-155 was one of the first described (30).

miR-155, miR-21, miR-221&222, miR-106b-93-25 cluster, miR-17-92 cluster

The tumor suppressor function of miR-15a/16-1 has also been addressed
in vivo.

The most promising therapeutic techniques tested to date are
(a) miRNA mimics and (b) anti-miRNA oligonucleotides (AMOs).
