miR-185 suppresses LDLR expression directly, but also indirectly by inhibiting SREBP-2-dependent gene expression.
“Similarly, miR-185 suppresses LDLR expression directly, but also indirectly by inhibiting SREBP-2-dependent gene expression [49].”
From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [49]
The Results (page unavailable) show that miR-185 overexpression lowers LDLR expression and abolishes stimulated LDLR expression; the authors attribute this to repression of SREBP-2-dependent gene expression. The paper demonstrates direct targeting of SREBP-2 mRNA, not direct targeting of LDLR, so the claim of direct LDLR suppression is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe truncated 3'UTR lacks binding sites for both miR128-1 and miR-148, while the miR-185 binding site is still present.
“This truncated 3’UTR lacks binding sites for both miR128-1 and miR-14852,53,67, while the miR-185 binding site is still present54,67.”
From Pathways and Molecular Mechanisms Governing LDL Receptor Regulation (2025) · cites this paper as [53]
The Results (page unavailable) identify miR-185 binding sites in the SREBP-2 3′UTR and report that mutating them interfered with miR-185 targeting. The paper examines the wild-type 3′UTR and point-mutated binding sites, but does not establish that a miR-185 site remains in the truncated 3′UTR described by the citing sentence. The miR-128-1 and miR-148 clause is attached to other citations, not this one. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredmiR-185 inhibits expression of SREBP2, decreasing LDLR.
“miR-185 Inhibits expression of SREBP2 ↓ [49]”
From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [49]
miR-27a promotes expression of PCSK9, decreasing LDLR.
“miR-27a Promotes expression of PCSK9 ↓ [43,45,49]”
From The low-density lipoprotein receptor: Emerging post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms (2025) · cites this paper as [49]
Two separate studies identified miR-185 as an indirect and direct post-transcriptional regulator of LDLR mRNA.

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.
