50. A method of treating a patient diagnosed with or suspected of having or suspected of developing a pathological condition or disease related to a gene modulated by a miRNA comprising the steps of:
-
(a) administering to the patient an amount of an isolated nucleic acid comprising a miR-126 nucleic acid sequence in an amount sufficient to modulate a cellular pathway or a physiologic pathway; and (b) administering a second therapy, wherein the modulation of the cellular pathway or physiologic pathway sensitizes the patient to the second therapy.

52. A method of selecting a miRNA to be administered to a subject with, suspected of having, or having a propensity for developing a pathological condition or disease comprising:
-
(a) determining an expression profile of one or more genes selected from Table 1, 3, 4, or 5; (b) assessing the sensitivity of the subject to miRNA therapy based on the expression profile; and (c) selecting one or more miRNA based on the assessed sensitivity.
