Although widely used as a marker of cell proliferation, the biochemical properties and function of the Ki67 antigen remain poorly understood. Recent data indicate that it can interact with RNA, DNA, and a number of cellular proteins including elements of the ubiquitin proteolytic pathway and a novel

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
microRNA‐195(miR‐195) is an important member of the micro‐15/16/195/424/497 family, and which is activated in multiple diseases, such as cancers, heart failure, and schizophrenia. Mir‐195 regulates a plethora of target proteins, which are involved in the cell cycle, apoptosis, proliferation. WEE1, CDK6, and Bcl‐2 are confirmed target genes of miR‐195 that are involved in miR‐195‐mediated cell‐cycle and apoptosis effects. However, the mechanism of miR‐195 action is not completely understood. This review summarizes recent the research progress regarding the roles of miR‐195 in the cell cycle and in apoptosis. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
