MIR202 is a microRNA implicated in various biological processes and diseases, including breast cancer (BC), where it has been proposed as a biomarker in multiple independent clinical studies [PMC9967215]. It is located at the end of the chromosome in eutherian genomes, with its gene order conserved across different species, although with some variations [PMC3706607]. In knockout (KO) and knock-in (KI) mouse models, MIR202 has been observed to decrease in abundance [PMC10001410]], suggesting its involvement in gene regulation under these conditions. MIR202 has also been associated with polymorphisms in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients [PMC7421781] and is notably duplicated at chromosome 10q26 alongside other genes [PMC4147387]. It has been identified as a potential regulator of genes related to aging and angiogenesis, such as HAS2 [PMC4168028], and its expression is notably increased alongside its host gene in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) cases of spermatogonial arrest [PMC8800634]. Furthermore, MIR202 expression influences the incorporation of tumor-suppressive miRNAs into exosomes within the ceramide pathway [PMC8722109], highlighting its role in intercellular communication. In esophageal cancer cell lines, overexpression of MIR202 significantly affects autophagy-related processes [PMC5302951], indicating its potential role in cancer biology.
