MIR6780B Gene

HGNC Family Non-coding RNAs
Name microRNA 6780b
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": "\nOvarian cancer metastasis is driven in part by ascites‐derived exosomes that transfer miR-6780b-5p to tumor cells, thereby accelerating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Bioinformatics analysis and RNA sequencing data indicate that miR-6780b-5p is a critical regulator within these exosomes; its elevated expression correlates with increased metastatic potential in ovarian cancer patients. Overexpression of miR-6780b-5p enhances EMT, while its downregulation suppresses this process, emphasizing its pivotal role in promoting cancer progression."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\nMoreover, these findings suggest that the transfer of miR-6780b-5p via exosomes contributes significantly to the metastatic cascade, offering a potential molecular target for therapeutic intervention aimed at mitigating ovarian cancer spread."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Jing Cai, Lanqing Gong, Guodong Li, et al.
