MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise a class of non-coding RNA with extensive regulatory functions within cells. MiR-106a is recognized for its super-regulatory roles in vital processes. Hence, the analysis of its expression in association with diseases has attracted considerable attention for molecular diagnosis and drug development. Numerous studies have investigated miR-106 target genes and shown that this miRNA regulates the expression of some critical cell cycle and apoptosis factors, suggesting miR-106a as an ideal diagnostic and prognostic biomarker with therapeutic potential. Furthermore, the reported correlation between miR-106a expression level and cancer drug resistance has demonstrated the complexity of its functions within different tissues. In this study, we have conducted a comprehensive review on the expression levels of miR-106a in various cancers and other diseases, emphasizing its target genes. The promising findings surrounding miR-106a suggest its potential as a valuable biomolecule. However, further validation assessments and overcoming existing limitations are crucial steps before its clinical implementation can be realized.
