a review of the biological roles of mir-4800; a novel tumor biomarker with therapeutic potential

Micrornas (mirnas) are known as a group of short noncoding ribonucleic acids (ncrnas). mainly, they can manage gene expression at the posttranscriptional level in the essential biological and physiological functions. significantly, more than 50% of the discovered mirnas genes are placed in cancer‐related genomic regions, which can act as oncomir or oncosuppressor. in this regard, growing evidence recently demonstrated the deregulation of mir-4800 in human cancers and non-cancerous diseases. however, little information is available on the biological roles of mir-4800 in cancer initiation, development, and progression. here, we reviewed the targeting sites and biogenesis functions of the mir‐4800 family in physiological and pathological processes like human cancers, particularly with a particular focusing on the validated specific targets.
