Summary: microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Salivary miR-let-7a-5p and miR-3928 were significantly down regulated in saliva of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients, and have the potential to be novel non-invasive biomarkers for early detection and prognosis head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Expression of let-7a-5p in pneumoconiosis is downregulated, while reduced let-7a-5p corresponds to high expression of BCL2L1 and poor survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients.

TGF-beta induces MIR100HG lncRNA, encoding miR-100, let-7a and miR-125b that control pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tumorigenesis. Pro-tumorigenic miR-100 and miR-125b increase and anti-tumorigenic let-7a is unchanged, as TGF-beta also induces LIN28B. The induction of LIN28B results in the up-regulation of miR-100 and miR-125b, with let-7a unchanged despite being part of the same MIR100HG primary transcript.
Title: TGF-β induces miR-100 and miR-125b but blocks let-7a through LIN28B controlling PDAC progression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
