A summary of the therapeutic role of microRNA-506 (miR-506). miR-506, located on Xq27.3, is down-regulated by methylation. miR-506 directly targets RAD51, cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6-Forkhead box protein M-1 (CDK4/6-FOXM1), and snail family zinc finger 2 (SNAI2), thus repressing homologous recombination (HR), promoting cellular senescence, and suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), respectively. As a result, miR-506 sensitizes cancer cells to chemotherapy and inhibits cell proliferation and EMT-mediated metastasis
