Functions

Molecular mechanisms

Reference

Breast cancer

miR-181D-5P

Promote cancer cell proliferation, invasion and accelerate EMT

Target CDX2 and downregulate CDX2 and HOXA5

[108]

miR-92

Increased apoptosis and impaired proliferation of T cells

miR-92/YAP1-LATS2/PD-L1

[86]

SNHG3 (lncRNA)

Increase glycolysis metabolism and inhibit immune cell activity

Target miR-330-5p and increase the PKM expression

[109]

Lung cancer

OIP5-AS1

Inhibition of PBMCs-induced killing of lung cancer cells

OIP5-AS1/miR-142-5p/PD-L1 axis

[110]

Colorectal cancer

CircEIF3K

Inhibits colorectal cancer cell proliferation, invasion and tube formation

circEIF3K/miR-214/PD-L1
