In molecular biology mir-625 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms. Many microRNAs play important roles in cancer development and progression.

mir-625 and gastric cancer

mir-625 has been shown to be down regulated in gastric cancers. This is important, as mir-625 is responsible for the regulation of metastasis in gastric tumour cells, and therefore downregulation of mir-625 results in increased metastasis.^[1] mir-625 is thought to act by inhibiting the ILK protein.^[1]
