ssc-mir-125a: Ssc-mir-125a is a microRNA that is associated with inhibiting proliferation and targets more than 14 genes [PMC5796217]. It is a member of the miR-10 family, along with ssc-miR-10, ssc-miR-10a-5p, and ssc-miR-125b, which all target the hub genes WHSC1 and MKI67 [PMC5796217]. Ssc-mir-125a is differentially expressed after Salmonella challenge in peripheral blood [PMC6560770]. It is also one of the microRNA candidates that are differentially expressed after Salmonella challenge in peripheral blood and have over-represented binding sites in differentially expressed mRNA list [PMC6560770]. Ssc-mir-125a potentially targets IL13 with a slight decrease in expression at 25 dpi [PMC8851844]. It is also downregulated in expression at 50 dpi along with other miRNAs in subclusters SOM1 and SOM25 [PMC8851844]. Ssc-mir-125a shows variable expression patterns compared to other miRNAs [PMC3555835]. It is highly expressed in the anterior pituitary along with other miRNAs such as ssc-miR-125b and ssc-miR-23b [PMC4489742]. In the context of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, the expression of endogenous ssc-mir-125a decreases, but intramyocardial injection of miR-125a agomir elevates its levels [PMC9830430]. Ssc-mir-125a may promote apoptosis of granulosa cells by binding to NOVEL_00001850 and down-regulating the CYP19A1 gene [PMC7962063]. Additionally, it has been found to repress the differentiation of porcine preadipocytes [PMC4493643].
