Summary

Caution, this is an AI generated summary based on literature. This may have errors.

hsa-mir-15a, a member of the hsa-mir-15 family, functions as a tumor suppressor by targeting and regulating multiple oncogenes, including BCL2, CCND1, and WNT3 [PMC5814839]. This microRNA has been identified to target a total of 56 genes, with CCND1 being one of the significant genes influenced by its activity [PMC5355656]. The regulatory network involving hsa-mir-15a is extensive and includes other microRNAs such as hsa-miR-16, which targets 63 genes; hsa-miR-155 with 20 target genes including SMAD2; hsa-miR-375 which targets 44 genes such as AKT2 and CDK6; and hsa-miR-429 with 59 target genes including CCND1 [PMC5355656]. Among these microRNAs in the network, hsa-miR-16 is noted for targeting the highest number of genes [PMC5355656].

Comments

Reference [1] named this sequence miR-15. This is renamed miR-15a here to avoid confusion with miR-15b (MIR:MI0000438) identified later by others. This gene and miR-16 are clustered within 0.5 kb at 13q14. This region has been shown to be deleted in more than half of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLL). Both miR-15a and miR-16 are deleted or down-regulated in more than two thirds of CLL cases [2].
