Hsa-mir-106b is a microRNA involved in the regulation of gene expression in various cellular processes [PMC4919505]. In BxPC-3 cells, the inhibition of gene expression was reversed upon the introduction of a hsa-mir-106b antagomir, indicating that hsa-mir-106b plays a role in suppressing gene expression [PMC4811474]. Conversely, when hsa-mir-106b mimic was co-transfected into PANC-1 cells, there was a significant inhibition of the reporter gene by more than two-fold [PMC4811474]. This suggests that hsa-mir-106b can function as an oncomiR or tumor suppressor depending on the cellular context. The use of Taqman miRNA probes for hsa-mir-106b (000442) among others facilitates the study and quantification of microRNAs and their role in cellular functions [PMC4919505].
