Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-protein-
coding RNAs that function as key regulators of diverse
biological processes through negative control on gene
expression at the post-transcriptional level. Emerging evi-
dence indicates that miRNAs play an important role in the
development of human cancers, with their deregulation
resulting in altered activity of downstream tumor sup-
pressors, oncogenes and other signaling molecules. Recent
years have seen considerable progress in miRNA research
in brain tumors, particularly in glioblastomas and medul-
loblastomas, providing novel insights into the pathogenesis
of these malignant lesions. Expression profiling has
unveiled miRNA signatures that not only distinguish brain
tumors from normal tissues, but can also differentiate
histotypes or molecular subtypes with altered genetic
pathways. Moreover, specific miRNA subsets may have
potential diagnostic and prognostic values in some brain
tumors. Several deregulated miRNAs uncovered in glio-
blastomas and medulloblastomas have their gene targets
and the associated genetic pathways identified. This review
summarizes recent findings of miRNA study in brain
tumors.

Introduction
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, short (19–24
nucleotides) non-protein-coding RNAs that regulate gene
expression at the post-transcriptional level [33]. The first
two miRNAs, lin-4 and let-7, were discovered in the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and were shown to play
a crucial role in the timing of larval development [49, 73].
Since then, thousands of miRNAs have been found in
animals, plants and even in viruses, and many animal
miRNAs identified are evolutionaril
