The role of microRNA in the response to cisplatin treatment

Resistance to the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin can be mediated through changes in a wide variety of cellular processes and signalling pathways. The discovery of microRNAs as regulators of protein expression through the targeting of mRNA has led to a number of studies on the effect of cisplatin treatment on microRNA expression, and the ability of microRNAs to modulate cisplatin resistance.
