Abstract
Cancer cells show elevated level of mitochondrial reactive species (mROS) generation. Voltage-dependent anion channel 1(VDAC1), an outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) protein plays significant role in mitochondrial energy production as well as in metabolism. VDAC1 has been shown to influence the metastatic potential of cancer cells via production of mROS. Therefore, the regulation of VDAC1 expression seems an attractive area of research in cancer biology. Recent researches show that microRNA plays important roles in cancer metastasis by regulating expression of different proteins. In this context regulation of VDAC1 by microRNAs could be an attractive strategy as a therapeutic approach in cancer biology. Therefore, herein, we discuss the tumor suppressor role of several microRNAs in controlling the cancer progression network by targeting VDAC1 expression.
