Cancer is recognized as the leading cause of death worldwide. The hippo signaling pathway regulates organ size by balancing cell proliferation and cell death; hence dysregulation of the hippo pathway promotes cancer‑like conditions. miRNAs are a type of non‑coding RNA that have been shown to regulate gene expression. miRNA levels are altered in various classes of cancer. Researchers have also uncovered a crosslinking between miRNAs and the hippo pathway, which has been linked to cancer. The components of the hippo pathway regulate miRNA synthesis, and various miRNAs regulate the components of the hippo pathway both positively and negatively, which can lead to cancer‑like conditions. In the present review article, the mechanism behind the hippo signaling pathway and miRNAs biogenesis and crosslinks between miRNAs and the hippo pathway, which result in cancer, shall be discussed. Furthermore, the article will cover miRNA‑related therapeutics and provide an overview of the development of resistance to anticancer drugs. Understanding the underlying processes would improve the chances of developing effective cancer treatment therapies.
