The ways that miR-424-5p regulates cancer cell progression can be categorized into 4 mechanisms. (i) By controlling cell cycle. (ii) By promoting or inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, (iii) By regulating tumor cell apoptosis (iv) By acting on the processes that cancer cells have, such as the Warburg effect, metastasis, anoikis resistance, ferroptosis and angiogenesis. The targets of miR-424-5p can not only participate in one ways, but can have different roles in different mechanisms.
