miR-296 is a family of microRNA precursors found in mammals, including humans. The ~22 nucleotide mature miRNA sequence is excised from the precursor hairpin by the enzyme Dicer.[1] This sequence then associates with RISC which effects RNA interference.[2]

miR-296 has been named an "angiomiR"[3] due to being characterised as a microRNA which regulates angiogenesis, the process of growth and creation of new blood vessels.[4] miR-296 is thought to have a specific role in cancer in promoting tumour angiogenesis.[3][5] It achieves this by targeting HGS mRNA, reducing its expression in endothelial cells which then results in greater number of VEGF receptors.[3][6]

miR-296 has predicted target sites in the transcription factor NANOG[7] and may also contribute to carcinogenesis by dysregulating p53.[8]
