Abstract: MicroRNA is a class of small non-coding single-stranded molecule RNA, regulating the expression of target genes though complementary binding with the target gene mRNA 3 'untranslated region (3'-untranslated region, 3'-UTR) and plays an important role in biology developmental, cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. And it closely related to the occurrence and development with many human diseases such as cancer, diabetes and so on. Drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters expression can be affected by the changes of MicroRNA expression, thereby affecting drug effect. Current researches on drug metabolizing enzymes are more in-depth, while the transporters are relatively small. This paper summarizes research at home and abroad in recent years, the mechanism of action about MicroRNA and its regulation about drug transporter were reviewed. So as to provide a theoretical basis to guide the clinical individualized medicine.

Key words: MicroRNA, transporters, regulation
