miR-142-3p is a microRNA (miRNA) that has been found to play a role in various types of cancer. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules and preventing them from being translated into proteins.
Studies have shown that miR-142-3p can act as both a tumor suppressor and an oncogene, depending on the type of cancer. For example, in some types of leukemia, miR-142-3p is overexpressed and functions as an oncogene, promoting the growth and survival of cancer cells. On the other hand, in other types of cancer such as colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, miR-142-3p is downregulated and functions as a tumor suppressor, inhibiting the growth and survival of cancer cells.
