oar-mir-181a: oar-mir-181a is a microRNA (miRNA) that exhibits high expression levels during the sheep breeding season and is implicated in sheep fecundity [PMC7992348]. It is correlated with various circular RNAs (circRNAs) that are involved in reproductive functions, and its expression is influenced by the breeding season, showing a decrease from early to pre-lambing [PMC8300399; PMC9679157]. Competitive endogenous RNA network analysis has revealed target miRNA sites for oar-mir-181a in circRNAs, indicating its regulatory role [PMC8300399]. oar-mir-181a has been found to be downregulated in sheep immunized with B. suis strain S2, suggesting a role in the immune response [PMC8902169]. It targets genes involved in innate immunity and has been validated by RT-qPCR as a marker miRNA for further studies [PMC8902169]. Despite its downregulation upon immunization, oar-mir-181a's expression levels are consistent with miRNA-seq results, confirming its regulatory significance [PMC8902169].
