MiR-4295, located on chromosome 10q25.2, is a unique miRNA with a wide range of biological functions. miR-4295 is widely expressed in vivo, participating in the biological processes of multiple cancers. Although miR-4295 is dysregulated in various cancers, it has also been found to have the function of inhibiting cancer. At the same time, the expression of miR-4295 is related to prognosis and can be affected by numerous factors connecting to the therapeutic effects of various drugs. This article is to better summarize the role of miR-4295 in cancer and review the potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic value of miR-4295, which may provide insight into subsequent research.
