MIR542: MIR542 is a microRNA that has been found to harbor missense mutations in its stem-loop coding region, along with other microRNAs such as MIR662 and MIR663 [PMC4017260]. In glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), MIR542 has been shown to target the AEG-1 gene, potentially suppressing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in U251 cells [PMC7575175]. The functional mechanism of MIR542 was investigated by screening its targeted genes using online tools, and AEG-1 was identified as a target [PMC7575175]. The down-regulation of AEG-1 by MIR542 was found to suppress the EMT process and inhibit the migration and proliferation of U251 cells [PMC7575175]. Luciferase reporter assays confirmed that a specific region in the 3'-UTR of AEG-1 gene was targeted by MIR542 [PMC7575175]. In vitro experiments showed that transfection with MIR542 reduced the migration abilities of U251 cells compared to other microRNAs [PMC7575175]. Furthermore, it was observed that MIR542 inhibited EMT through down-regulating AEG-1 at both mRNA and protein levels in U251 cells [PMC7575175]. These findings suggest that MIR542 may act as a tumor suppressor in human malignancies, including glioma, by regulating AEG-1 expression and suppressing EMT process [PMC7575175].
