Targets

Effects on tumour

Refs.

miR-214-3p

ND/Tumor suppressor

ATF4

Induce ferroptosis and inhibit HCC

[115]

miR-23a-3p

↑/Oncogene

ACSL4

miR-23a-3p suppresses sorafenib-induced ferroptosis

[116]

miR-552-5p

↑/Oncogene

ACSL4

Overexpression of ZNF8 reduces intracellular miR-552-5p levels and enhances sensitivity to ferroptosis. miR-552-5p inhibits ferroptosis by suppressing ACSL4

[117]

miR-142-3p

↑/Oncogene

FTH1, TfR1, GPX4, ATF4

Exosomal miR-142-3p from HBV-positive liver cancer cell promotes the progression of liver cancer by inducing ferroptosis of M1-type macrophages inhibiting SLC3A2

[118]

miR-142-3p

↑/Oncogene

SLC3A2

↑HBV-infected M1-type macrophage ferroptosis through inhibiting SLC3A2;↑ development of HCC

[119]

miR-21-5p

↑/Oncogene

MELK

miR-21-5p inhibits the ferroptosis through activating AKT/mTOR signaling pathway via upregulating level of MELK

[120]

miR-654-5p

-/Tumor suppressor

HSPB1

miR-654-5p alleviate sorafenib resistance through inducing ferroptosis by targeting HSPB1

[121]

miR-612

-/Tumor suppressor

CoQ10

miR-612 inhibit tumour malignancy through inducing ferroptosis by decreasing CoQ10 and increasing cellular PUFA levels via the HADHA-mediated MVA pathway

[122]

MiR-339-5p

↑/Oncogene

FTH1

miR-339 inhibits ferroptosis through suppressing ATG7-mediated autophagic degradation of FTH1

[123]

miR-4489

-/Tumor suppressor

MUC1

APOM suppress tumor and induces ferroptosis through down-regulating ferroptosis-inhibiting gene MUC1 via upregulating miR-4489

[124]
