| Name | microRNA 2861 |
| 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 target mRNAs. This microRNA may play a role in osteoblast differentiation and a mutation in this gene is associated with osteoporosis. Altered expression of this microRNA has been observed in human cancers, with reduced expression seen in cervical cancer, while expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is increased.

| Summary |
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMIR2861 is a multifunctional microRNA that plays a pivotal role in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. It enhances osteogenesis by repressing the expression of histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5), thereby stabilizing the pro‐osteogenic transcription factor Runx2. This regulatory mechanism facilitates bone morphogenesis and mineralization, and loss‐of‐function mutations in MIR2861 have been linked to primary osteoporosis in humans. These findings, together with evidence from scaffold‐assisted bone regeneration studies and investigations into mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, underscore the critical physiological function of MIR2861 in skeletal development."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its role in osteogenesis, MIR2861 has emerged as a valuable biomarker in several clinical contexts. Its inclusion in a serum miRNA panel has improved the diagnosis of cervical cancer, and elevated levels have been correlated with lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma, suggesting a role in tumor progression. Moreover, increased circulating MIR2861 has been detected in the early stages of acute coronary syndrome. In lung cancer stem cells, MIR2861 contributes to the maintenance of stemness—likely via regulation of HDAC5 and modulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation—further illustrating its diverse involvement in disease biology."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "4", "end_ref": "7"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn reproductive pathologies, MIR2861 also exerts significant regulatory effects on cellular proliferation and apoptosis.
