MIR222 Gene

HGNC Family Non-coding RNAs
Name microRNA 222
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": "\nMicroRNA‐222, often coordinately expressed with miR‐221, has emerged as a potent oncogenic regulator in a broad spectrum of human malignancies. In endocrine‐responsive tumors such as breast, prostate, and thyroid cancers, elevated miR‐222 levels contribute to therapy resistance by directly targeting key cell cycle inhibitors (for example, p27Kip1), thereby facilitating unchecked cellular proliferation and diminished apoptotic responses. These effects underlie tamoxifen and fulvestrant resistance in breast cancer and promote androgen‐independent growth in prostate cancer, positioning miR‐222 as a promising predictive and therapeutic marker for aggressive disease."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "9"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its role in cell cycle deregulation, miR‐222 actively promotes tumor progression by inducing epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), enhancing cell migration and invasion, and facilitating chemoresistance. It achieves this through the modulation of multiple signaling pathways—including NF‐κB, STAT3, and TGF‐β—and by downregulating transcriptional repressors that normally restrain the EMT. Moreover, miR‐222 is selectively loaded into exosomes that mediate intercellular communication; these extracellular vesicles transfer miR‐222 to surrounding cells, thereby disseminating oncogenic signals, promoting drug resistance, and even influencing the tumor microenvironment via macrophage polarization."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "10", "end_ref": "22"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn addition to its well‐characterized roles in tumor cell proliferation and invasiveness, miR‐222 has been implicated in modulating immune responses, inflammation, and metabolic regulation.
