MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding and functional small nucleic acids. miRNAs repress gene expression at the translational level through the inhibition of translation or through induction of the degradation of target mRNAs by binding to a complementary site within the 3′UTR of target mRNAs. 1,2 Although the individual function of miRNAs is to fine-tune gene expression, many miRNAs substantially orchestrally modulate major life phenomena, 3,4 impacting, for instance, tissue differentiation and carcinogenesis. 5,6 Nowadays, it is well known that dysregulation of miRNAs contributes to carcinogenesis. 7 Expression of miRNAs is frequently dysregulated as a result of epigenetic silencing (eg, via hypermethylation) 8 and the suppression of transcriptional factors (eg, hepatocyte nuclear factor). 9 miRNAs are also deeply involved in organ development and tissue differentiation. 10-12 Moreover, the uneven organ distribution of miRNAs
