ssc-miR-196a: Ssc-mir-196a is a microRNA that has been identified as one of the differentially expressed miRNAs in various studies. In one study, it was found to be up-regulated along with other miRNAs such as ssc-miR-582-5p, ssc-miR-150, ssc-miR-155-5p, and ssc-miR-331-5p [PMC9778086]. Another study showed that ssc-mir-196a and ssc-miR-451 exhibited a pattern of increased expression at 1W and decreased expression at 2W in piglet development [PMC8367414]. Ssc-mir-196a was further investigated in the same study as it represented pattern 1 among the differentially expressed miRNAs [PMC8367414]. Additionally, it was found to be a shared node in both lncRNA–miRNA–mRNA co-regulatory networks and circRNA–miRNA–mRNA co-regulatory networks [PMC9603960]. Ssc-mir-196a has also been reported to be related to lipid metabolism along with other miRNAs such as ssc-miR-141, ssc-miR192, and sscmiR486 [PMC9603960]. In another study on colorectal neoplasia, elevated expression of sscmir196a was observed in more advanced samples compared to early-stage samples [PMC5707088]. The higher expression of mir196a has also been associated with cell growth promotion, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer cells [PMC5707088]. These findings highlight the importance of mir196a in various biological processes.
