MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs about 19-22 nucleotides in length. Growing evidence has reported the significant role of miRNAs in various cancer-associated biological processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. However, most studies focus on the targets of some individual miRNAs; the interactive and global functions of diverse miRNAs are still unclear and the phenomenon of the gathering of miRNAs in clusters has always been ignored. On the other hand, the fact that a single miRNA may regulate many genes and that numerous mRNAs are regulated by the same miRNA also makes it imperative to further study the cooperating characteristics of miRNAs in cancer. MiR-23a-27a-24-2 is located in the human chromosome 9q22, forming three mature miRNAs: miR-23a, miR27a, and miR-24, which are expressed abnormally in many malignant tumors. This review aims to summarize the interactive functions of miRNAs in miR-23a-27a-24-2 clusters in cancer from the perspectives of the regulation network, tumor microenvironment, and targeted therapy.
