ssc-miR-34c: Ssc-mir-34c is a microRNA that has been found to be upregulated in various studies [PMC8367414][PMC7531090][PMC6090871][PMC10000162][PMC9220968][PMC7724732][PMC7247556][PMC5909910]. It is one of the most abundant miRNAs [PMC7724732] and has been implicated in the regulation of male sexual function [PMC7531090]. Ssc-mir-34c has been found to target genes such as phospholipase C beta 1 (PLCβ1) and serine/threonine/tyrosine interacting protein (STYX) involved in signaling pathways such as GnRH, Wnt, and MAPK [PMC7531090]. It has also been shown to target genes involved in the p53 signaling pathway, including cyclin D2 (CCND2), phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), and cyclin B1 (CCNB1) [PMC7531090]. Ssc-mir-34c has been implicated in viral pathogenicity as it can bind to the 3' UTR of the CHX1401 virus genome [PMC10000162]. Additionally, it forms a ceRNA relationship with ssc-miR-9851-3p and ssc-miR-34c, regulating the corresponding NR4A2 gene [PMC9220968]. Ssc-mir-34c expression is affected by ischemia/reperfusion, but can be modulated by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and ischemic postconditioning (IPoC) [ PMC7247556]. Overall, ssc-mir-34c plays a role in various biological processes through its regulation of target genes.
