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

MIR203A is a gene that is downregulated in certain cell lines, such as A2780, and its expression is not significantly increased in response to estrogen treatments [PMC7766742]. The hypermethylation of the MIR203A gene has been suggested as a marker for predicting the development of metastases in ovarian cancer [PMC8835734]. Previous studies have shown that MIR203A and the MIR200 family are downregulated in D492M cell lines and their expression is crucial for maintaining the epithelial phenotype [PMC7308478]. The MIR203A locus is located on chromosome 14, specifically at chr14:104097437–104137437 [PMC7766742'>PMC7766742]. In stage IV ovarian cancer patients, alterations in six miRNAs, including MIR203A, have been observed [PMC9599289]. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that MIR203A enhances cellular inflammatory responses and cell damage while reducing aggrecan and Col2A1 levels [PMC10002134]. The expression of miR200s and MIR203A was investigated to determine their dependence on ERα [PMC7766742].

Annotation confidence High
Do you think this miRNA is real?
Comments
This human miRNA was predicted by computational methods using conservation with mouse and Fugu rubripes sequences [1]. Expression of the excised miR has been validated in zebrafish, and the ends mapped by cloning. Landgraf et al. confirm expression in human [2].
