Objective  To review the regulation of microRNA-17-92 cluster on bone development, remodeling, and metabolism. Methods  The related literature was reviewed. The clinical genetic phenotype, animal experiment, and cell research were illustrated so as to explore the possible regulatory mechanisms. Results  MicroRNA-17-92 cluster is involved in physiological normal organs development, pathological neoplasm occurrence, and development. Recently, studies have shown that microRNA-17-92 cluster constitutes an intricate molecular signaling network with its upstream transcription factors and downstream targeting proteins, which controls bone development, remodeling, and metabolism exquisitely. Conclusion  Present fundamental researches have certain understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of microRNA-17-92 cluster on bone development, remodeling, and metabolism. However, the exact mechanisms under these processes remain unknown.
