Research Abstract	A few novel microRNAs, which was up-or down-regulated in either mammary gland tumor or melanoma, were identified by the canine micro RNA microarray. The differential expression of these microRNAs was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. We also found that miR-21 and miR-92a had been significantly higher existing in the plasma from dog with mammary gland tumor compared to clinically healthy dog.
