Abstract: MicroRNA-375 (miR-375) is closely related to the development of cancer, such as liver cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, etc. The mainly tumor pathogenesis related miR375 includes that miR375 is combined with specific target genes, can degrade mRNA or inhibit protein translation in the transcriptional level, and plays antitumor effect of inhibition of cell proliferation, promoting cell apoptosis and inhibiting the invasion and metastasis. miR375 is expected to be a new target for cancer therapy, which may become an important biomarker for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of cancer.

Key words: MicroRNAs, Neoplasms
