Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous short non-coding RNAs that can regulate the expression of target genes post-transcriptionally and interact with mRNA-coding genes. MiRNAs play vital roles in many biological functions, and abnormal miRNA expression has been linked to various illnesses, including cancer. Among the miRNAs, miR-122, miR-206, miR-21, miR-210, miR-223, and miR-424 have been extensively studied in various cancers. Although research in miRNAs has grown considerably over the last decade, much is yet to be discovered, especially regarding their role in cancer therapies. Several kinds of cancer have been linked to dysregulation and abnormal expression of miR-122, indicating that miR-122 may serve as a diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarker for human cancer. Consequently, in this review literature, miR-122 has been analyzed in numerous cancer types to sort out the function of cancer cells miR-122 and enhance patient response to standard therapy.

  • The three selected miRNAs-hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-let-7a-5p, and hsa-miR-26a-5p-provide complementary and comprehensive coverage of almost all critical genes associated with the MAPK signaling pathway.

    “From this analysis, we selected the three abundant miRNAs-hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-let-7a-5p, and hsa-miR26a-5p-based on their complementary and comprehensive coverage of almost all the critical genes associated with the MAPK signaling pathway 27-33 as analyzed using miRTarBase version 8.0 and TarBase v8.0 integrated within miRNet (Figure S1).”

    The section “Mechanism of miR-122 in human cancers > Reproductive system” reports that miR-122-5p acts through MAPK signaling in triple-negative breast cancer. It does not assess the three-miRNA combination or show that they collectively cover almost all critical MAPK-pathway genes; the citing sentence describes that coverage as the citing authors’ own analysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
