The invention provides application of miR-6858 in preventing and treating glioma through melatonin and belongs to the technical field of biomedicines. Specifically, the invention finds that melatoninhas a good antitumor function on cells U251, U87, A172 and GBM#P3. Meanwhile, through miRNA (micro ribonucleic acid) sequencing on GBM (glioblastoma multiforme) cells treated by using melatonin, target miRNA is found, growth of the GBM cells can be inhibited by increasing miR-6858 through the melatonin, and furthermore, an SIRT3 / AKT signal channel can be inhibited. The invention illuminates molecule mechanisms based on interactions melatonin and miRNA, and an effective treatment strategy is provided for treatment on GBM.
