Abstract: Cyclic AMP responsive element-binding protein (CREB) is a proto-oncogenic transcription factor, and generally affects the tumorgenesis by regulating the expression of targeted genes. Recent reports showed that the mechanism of miRNAs, as proto-oncogenes or suppressor genes in tumorigenesis, was tightly related with CREB. Combined with present research, this review summarized the independent and interactive effects of transcription factor CREB and its related miRNAs in tumorigenesis.
