Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that have a multifunction and play essential roles in gene regulation. Their dysregulation is associated with several human cancers. MiR-153 has a critical role in many biological processes, such as suppressing tumor growth (mostly), responses to treatment, and drug resistance. However, miR-153 in some cancers shows a different role as an oncogene, such as prostate. The miR-153 expression can be regulated by several regulators, such as lncRNAs and circular RNAs. By discovering the target factors for miR-153, it may be possible to approach early diagnosis, reversing drug resistance, and treatment of cancers. This will help choose the precise treatment for the patient and not incur additional costs in treatment. Thus, we attempt to summarize the current situation and potential development prospects about the role of miR-153 in cancers. The miR-153 paly an important role in cancers and can be used for diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells can generate tumors from only a small number of cells, whereas differentiated cancer cells cannot. The prominent feature of cancer stem cells is its ability to self-renew and differentiate into multiple types of cancer cells. Cancer stem cells have several distinct tumorigenic abilities, including stem cell signal transduction, tumorigenicity, metastasis, and resistance to anticancer drugs, which are regulated by genetic or epigenetic changes. Like normal adult stem cells involved in various developmental processes and tissue homeostasis, cancer stem cells maintain their self-renewal capacity by activating multiple stem cell signaling pathways and inhibiting differentiation signaling pathways during cancer initiation and progression. Recently, many studies have focused on targeting cancer stem cells to eradicate malignancies by regulating stem cell signaling pathways, and products of some of these strategies are in preclinical and clinical trials. In this review, we describe the crucial features of cancer stem cells related to tumor relapse and drug resistance, as well as the new therapeutic strategy to target cancer stem cells named "differentiation therapy."
