Abstract: miRNA-129-5p belongs to the microRNA-129 (miRNA-129) family. miRNA-129-5p is
expressed in many tissues and organs of the human body, and it regulates a wide range of biological
functions. The abnormal expression of miRNA-129-5p is related to the occurrence and development
of a variety of malignant tumors. miRNA-129-5p plays an important role in the tumorigenesis
process and functions by promoting or inhibiting tumors. However, the role of miRNA-129-5p
in cancer remains controversial. This article reviews the different biological functions of miRNA-
129-5p in cancer and provides ideas for research in this field to guide the development of targeted
therapies and drugs for malignant tumors.
