MIR873 is a microRNA molecule that plays a role in various biological processes, including cancer development and drug resistance [PMC7589921]. It has been found to be upregulated in thyroid cancer, suggesting its involvement in the disease [PMC4621222]. Additionally, MIR873 has been identified as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of different cancers, such as lung cancer and breast cancer [PMC4621222]. In the context of musculoskeletal disease, MIR873 has been associated with bone geometry and muscle metabolism [PMC3210160]. It is located within a genomic region that also contains the MIR876 gene, and both genes have been strongly associated with bone geometry and muscle mass in Chinese populations [PMC3210160]. However, these associations were not replicated in Caucasians [PMC3210160]. MIR873 has also been implicated in neural diseases based on its target genes associated with such diseases [PMC7708977]. In pregnancy-related conditions, circulating levels of MIR873 have been found to be negatively associated with insulin sensitivity [PMC8900031]. Overall, these findings highlight the diverse roles of MIR873 in various biological processes and its potential as a diagnostic biomarker for different diseases.
