The frequency of reported cases of melanoma and related mortality rates continue to increase worldwide. The study of the basic mechanisms of both the initiation and development of this highly aggressive tumour proves to be important for the identification of therapeutic purposes and prognosis of the disease. Epigenetic changes in the regulation of gene expression level are early events in the initiation of sporadic cases of oncogenesis and tumour progression. The review summarizes data on the contribution of miRNAs in the process of oncogenic activity of certain cell signalling pathways by the changing of the level of known oncogenes and onco-suppressor in melanoma. There are provided examples of changes in the expression of several miRNAs, as well as their potential for the targeted therapy of melanoma.
