MicroRNA drop in the bloodstream and microRNA boost in the tumour caused by treatment with ribonuclease A leads to an attenuation of tumour malignancy.

Novel data showing an important role of microRNAs in mediating tumour progression opened a new field of possible molecular targets for cytotoxic ribonucleases. Recently, antitumour and antimetastatic activities of pancreatic ribonuclease A were demonstrated and here genome-wide profiles of microRNAs...
