MIR20A | microRNA 20a | Overexpression of MiR-20a in mouse embryonic fibroblasts induces senescence by lowering Lrf (a transcriptional repressor of the Mdm2 inhibitor p19ARF [15662416; 9529248]) protein levels and in turn increasing p19ARF levels [18596985]. | House mouse |

Mir489 | microRNA 489 | Mir489 is maintaining adult stem cells in quiescence phase. Inhibition of miR489 is sufficient to make murine satellite muscle cells exit the quiescence phase and enter the cell cycle through downregulation of the oncogene Dek [22358842]. | House mouse |
MIR27A | microRNA 27a | MIR27A can be both a tumor-suppressor and an oncogene. For instance, the expression of miR-27a is significantly lower in acute leukemia compared to normal cells. It has been shown that miRNA-27a inhibits cell growth and promotes apoptosis by targeting 14-3-3θ, a member of 14-3-3 family of anti-apoptotic proteins. [23236401]. Therefore, it acts as a tumor-suppressor in leukemia. However, in gastric cancer mir-27a acts as an oncogene by targeting inhibiting and thus promoting cancer cell growth [18789835]. | Human |
miR222 | microRNA 222 | miR221 and miR222 downregulate PTEN, a major tumor suppressor and TIMP3, which induces activation of caspases 8 and 9 [19962668]. Thus miR221 and miR222 enhance tumorigenecity in cell lung cancer, gastric cancer and hepatocarcinoma cells [20618998]. | Human |

MIR217 | microRNA 217 | MIR217 (alias hsa-miR-217) is significantly upregulated in senescent human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) when compared to early passage hMSC, but overall had very low expression levels [18493317]. | Human |
MIR21 | MIRN21; hsa-mir-21; miR-21; miRNA21 | MIR21 is the most highly expressed microRNA gene in octogenarians and centenarians. MIR21 expression is higher under cardiovascular diseases and lower in centenarian offspring. MIR21 is correlated with C-reactive protein and fibrinogen levels. TGF-βR2 mRNA, a MIR21 target, exhibits the highest expression in leukocytes form a subset of octogenarians. MIR-21 may be a biomarker of inflammation [23041385]. | Human |
miR17 | microRNA 17 | miR17 is downregulated in senescent cells and has a good correlation with p21 transcription, while p53 represses mir17-92 cluster [20437201; 20089119] | Human |
MIR16-1 | microRNA16-1 | MIR16-1 is a tumor-suppressor downregulated in different types of cancers. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) it is downregulated in 68% of cases [12434020]. MIR16-1 may post-transcriptionally downregulate the expression of Bcl2, thus inducing apoptosis. Therefore, inactivation of MIR15A and MIR16-1 in CLL lymphocytes results in a reduced apoptosis rate [16166262].
In prostate cancer, MIR15A and MIR16-1 are downregulated, which results in decreased repression of FGF-2, thus promoting tumor expansion and invasiveness [21532615].
MIR15A and MIR16-1 are also downregulated in pituitary adenomas as thier expression exhibits an inverse correlation with tumor diameter, therefore possible influence on tumor growth [15648093]. | Human |

miR152 | microRNA 152 | MiR152 belongs to miR148/152 cluster and can act as a tumor-suppressor. In ovarian cancer, miR152 suppresses DNMT1 directly and inhibits proliferation of cancer cells. [23318422] The miRNA is downregulated in ovarian cancer cells lines and its downregulation may lead to deregulation of cell proliferation in ovarian cancer. [21971665]
| Human |
miR148b | microRNA 148b | Mir148b belongs to mir148/152 cluster and acts as a tumor-suppressor in certain types of cancer. As a result of a study of miR148b expression in gastric cancer it has been determined that in 62 percent of cases, in tumor tissue miRNA was downregulated compared to adjacent non-tumor tissue. MiR148b suppresses tumorigenecity by targeting CCKBR, whose action is to mediate the function of gastrin, which has proliferative effects. |21205300] In addition, while miR148b is downregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues, its overexpression inhibits invasion and increases chemosensitivity [23171948]. | Human |
miR148a | microRNA 148a | miR148a belongs to miR148-152 cluster and acts as a tumor-suppressor in different types of cancer. MiR148a expression is suppressed more than 4-fold in gastric cancer. An inverse correlation has been observed between miR148a expression and lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer. Mir148a suppresses migratory abilities of cancer cells and metastasis formation by downregulating the oncogene ROCK1 expression [21994419]. miR148a is downregulated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). it has been shown that miR148a directly targets the 3'UTR region of CDC25B mRNA. CDC25B is a phosphatase that, by activating a cyclin-CDK complex, initiates mitosis, therefore CDC25B suppression by miR148a could have a tumor-suppressor effect on PDAC. [21709669] | Human |
MIR145 | microRNA 145 | MIR145 is a tumor suppressor that acts by inhibiting IRS-1 in human colon cancer cells. It also targets IGFR1 [17827156; 19391107]. It decreases cell migration in gliomas by targeting CTGF, metastasis and migration-promoting gene. MIR145 is downregulated in astrocytic tumors and oligodendrogliomas [23390502;
23577178]. | Human |
MIR106A | microRNA 106A | MIR106A is downregulated in senescent cells as it has a good correlation with p21 transcription, while p53 represses mir17-92 cluster [20437201; 20089119]. | Human |
Mir98 | microRNA mir-98 | miR-98-3p is the only miRNA significantly differentially expressed (upregulated) under DR and LA (lipoic acid; a DR-mimetic) treatment. Across mouse, rat and human predicted targets of miR-98-3p include the glutamate receptors, calcium transporters, histones and histone acetyltransferase/deacetylases.
miR-89-3p is expressed at a low level and is highly conserved in rat, mouse, human and anplis lizard. Mir-98 precursor is located on the X-chromosome. In the rat, mouse and human genome it overlaps an E3 ubiquitin ligase HUWE which is involved in regulation of apoptosis, regulation of neural differentiation and proliferation, DNA damage repair [Shona et al. 2013].
miR-98 expression is significantly decreased in the adventitia and endomembrane ath different degrees in Goto-Kakizaki rat, a model of type 2 diabetes. miR-98 targets TRB2 which is increased in expression in this model of type 2 diabetes. TRB2 phosphorylates Akt [22012613].
The mouse ortholog of Mir98 may by associated with the germline [16766679]. | Norway rat |
