hsa-mir-3941: Hsa-mir-3941 is a microRNA that targets the 3ʹUTR of the SOCS3 mRNA, which is a potential mechanism for interfering with viral expression [PMC8527307]. Transfection studies with hsa-mir-3941 have shown a significant reduction in SOCS3 mRNA levels, suggesting that this microRNA could play a role in the regulation of this gene [PMC8201247]. The therapeutic potential of hsa-mir-3941 includes not only the direct targeting of viral mRNA but also the possible inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway, which could lead to reduced viral infection [PMC8201247]. Despite its low prevalence in GISAID deposited sequences, hsa-mir-3941 does not have its binding affinity affected by mutations within these sequences, as predicted by IntaRNA and RNAhybrid tools [PMC8201247]. The collective insights from bioinformatics and gene reporter assays indicate that hsa-mir-3941 could be instrumental in diminishing viral pathogenicity for significant variants of SARS-CoV-2 and potentially SARS as well [PMC8201247].
