The authors explored the role of microRNA-155-5p (miR-155-5p) in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL). They found that miRNA-155-5p targets the E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL and inhibits its expression, reducing the ubiquitination and degradation of interferon regulatory factor 4, thus elevating expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 6. These findings suggest a basis for potential future therapeutic strategies for cALL.
