MIR500A is a microRNA whose expression can be influenced by pharmacological interventions, as evidenced by a study where specific drugs were found to increase MIR500A promoter activity, suggesting a potential regulatory mechanism influenced by these compounds [PMC8253104]. The study further confirmed the specificity of the drugs' effect on MIR500A expression by demonstrating that treatment of parental SAOS 2 cells, which presumably do not have the same genetic alterations as the targeted cells, did not result in altered MIR500A expression [PMC8253104]. This finding is significant as it helps to rule out off-target effects of the drugs, reinforcing that the observed increase in promoter activity is likely due to a direct effect on MIR500A regulation [PMC8253104].
