MIR20A Gene

HGNC Family Non-coding RNAs
Name microRNA 20a
Description 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]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMiR‐20a, a key member of the miR‐17–92 cluster, plays a central role in regulating cell cycle progression and proliferation. Transcriptionally activated by oncogenic factors such as c‐Myc, it fine‐tunes the timing of S‐phase entry through direct targeting of E2F family members and cell cycle inhibitors (for example, p21), thereby establishing important feedback loops that prevent unchecked cell division. This balanced regulation of proliferation is critical for normal cellular homeostasis, while its deregulation can set the stage for malignant transformation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "7"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn diverse cancers—including retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, cervical, ovarian, colorectal, lung, gastric, and triple‐negative breast cancers—miR‐20a is frequently overexpressed and functions as an oncomiR.
