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

MIR378A is a small RNA molecule that has been found to be positively correlated with age, along with miR-34a and miR-320b, and negatively associated with age, along with miR-20a, miR-30b, miR-106b, miR-191, miR-301a, and miR-374a [PMC6196565]. The UCCU sequence of RNA has been chosen for analysis due to its presence in small RNAs such as miR23a, MIR378A, and miR344 [PMC6004406]. MIR378A has been found to be downregulated in the sperm of fathers with high paternal depressive symptoms compared to fathers without such symptoms [PMC8157381]. Additionally, MIR378A has been detected in extracellular vesicles (EVs) during the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into cardiac cells [PMC7912193]. EVs have been shown to contain several other microRNAs (miRNAs) along with MIR378A [PMC7912193]. The levels of primary MIR378A have been determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) along with 18 s rRNA [PMC8393456].

Comments
miR-422b was the most abundant miRNA cloned from human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells [2]. The sequence originates from the opposite arm of the human homologue of previously identified mouse mir-378 [1]. Landgraf et al. show that the 3' product (previously called miR-422b) is the predominant one [3]. Further, mir-378 and mir-422a loci are unrelated. miR-422b is thus renamed miR-378 here.
