Summary

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

MIR33B is a microRNA with a tumor suppressor role, typically under-expressed in multiple myeloma (MM) patients [PMC5721125]. It is located in the intron 17 of the SREBF-1 gene locus in humans, and this gene is absent in rodents [PMC3639327]. When overexpressed, MIR33B inhibits tumor growth and enhances survival in MM xenograft mouse models by inducing apoptosis through the suppression of proto-oncogene PIM-1 [PMC5721125][PMC7236745[PMC7236745]. MIR33B expression is influenced by lipid metabolism and can be regulated by statins like pitavastatin, which prevents its suppression by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) [PMC4945056]. It also plays a role in reducing metastasis and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype, with its silencing reversing cordycepin-mediated effects [PMC4496401]. Additionally, MIR33B expression can be epigenetically suppressed by PRMT5, which promotes lymphoma cell growth and survival through silencing tumor-suppressing miRNAs including MIR33B [PMC10147102][PMC10044308][PMC10044308]. In metabolic contexts, MIR33B has been associated with lipid homeostasis regulation alongside its host gene SREBF-1 and has been found to be upregulated in familial hypercholesterolemia cases, correlating with LDL cholesterol levels [PMC5113745][PMC3359973][PMC5085653[PMC3359973][PMC5085653].
