Function

Reference

miR-146a/miR-146b

EGFR

Invasion and metastasis

MiR-146a suppresses tumor growth and progression by targeting EGFR pathway and in ap-ERK-dependent manner in castration-resistant prostate cancer

MiR-146b-5p suppresses EGFR expression and reduces in vitro migration and invasion of glioma

miR-335

SOX4

Metastasis progression

miR-335 orchestrates cell proliferation, migration and differentiation in human mesenchymal stem cells

miR-17

CCND1

Cell cycle, cellular proliferation

The miR-17-5p microRNA is a key regulator of the G1/S phase cell cycle transition

miR-20a

CCND1

Cell cycle, cellular proliferation

MicroRNAs MiR-17, MiR-20a, and MiR-106b act in concert to modulate E2F activity on cell cycle arrest during neuronal lineage differentiation of USSC

miR-374a/miR-374b

WNT

Cell metastasis

MicroRNA-374a activates Wnt/ß-catenin signaling to promote breast cancer metastasis

MicroRNA-374b Suppresses Proliferation and Promotes Apoptosis in T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma by Repressing AKT1 and Wnt-16

miR-374a/miR-374b

PTEN

Cellular proliferation, survival and growth

MicroRNA-374a activates Wnt/ß-catenin signaling to promote breast cancer metastasis

Increased miR-374b promotes cell proliferation and the production of aberrant glycosylated lgA1 in B cells of lgA nephropathy
