Objective To summarize the research progress of bioenergetic metabolic mechanisms regulated of tumor cells by microRNA in recent years. Methods Literatures about the recent studies on the bioenergetic metabolic mechanisms regulated of tumor cells by microRNA were reviewed according to the results searched from PUBMED. Results Aerobic glycolysis(Warburg effect) is the most significant characteristics of bioenergetic metabolism in tumor cells. MicroRNAs can regulate many key progressions involved in tumor cells bioenergetic metabolism, such as uptake of glucose, glycolytic pathway, tricarboxylic acid cycle(TAC), and the relationship among lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and TAC, resulting in accelerated uptake of glucose and glycolysis. Thus we believe that the transportation and metabolic procession are vital important for tumor cells and related to poor prognosis of patients. Conclusions The studies on relationship between microRNA and bioenergetic metabolism have come an important insight for malignant biological behavior of tumor cells based on abnormal bioenergetic metabolism and also become new and important supplementary means of diagnosis and treatment of cancer. As far as the research progress about tumor cells bioenergetic metabolism regulated by microRNA, one of the things must be revealed is that which metablic factors can directly change tumor biological behavior after tumor cells bioenergetic metabolism changed caused by microRNA.
