MIR301A is a microRNA implicated in various cellular processes, including cancer progression [PMC9245644]. It is regulated by glycine through NMDA receptor-dependent signaling, suggesting a complex interaction with neurotransmitter systems [PMC4880874]. Research in oral cancer cell lines indicates that the expression of MIR301A is influenced by the protein FXR1, with MIR301A levels changing upon FXR1 depletion [PMC6986764]. Additionally, MIR301A has been identified as one of several microRNAs that regulate CSF-1, a factor involved in the immune response and potentially in cancer biology [PMC6411608]. In certain species, MIR301A is located within the first intron of the ska2 gene; however, this gene arrangement is absent in seadragons [PMC9245644]. Furthermore, MIR301A has been shown to interact with signaling pathways such as Wnt and NF-κB that are crucial for cancer cell behaviors including proliferation and invasion [PMC6912041]. In colorectal cancer (CRC), IL-1β has been documented to increase the expression of MIR301A in intestinal epithelial cells within colitis-associated cancer patients, which leads to downregulation of BTG anti-proliferation factor 1 (BTG1) expression [PMC8040557]. Lastly, FXR1 appears to protect MIR301A from degradation by PNPT1; without FXR1, PNPT1 can target and degrade MIR301A-3p [PMC6986764].
