eca-mir-146a: Eca-mir-146a is a type of microRNA that has been found to play a role in reducing inflammation in adipocytes by targeting factors involved in p38/JNK mediated inflammation [PMC7995974]. In a study, it was demonstrated that the expression of eca-mir-146a was significantly increased between days 42 and 63 and 56 and 63 [PMC9393553]. This study also identified five other microRNAs, including eca-mir-146a, that showed significant changes in expression [PMC9393553]. Real-time PCR was used to validate the expression of eca-mir-146a, along with two other microRNAs (eca-miR-26 and eca-miR-223), in both microvesicles (MVs) and counterpart cells [PMC6434479]. The expression levels of eca-miR-26, eca-mir-146a, and eca-miR-223 were found to be different between MVs and cells, with fold change ratios of 0.68, 4.72, and 16.13 respectively [PMC6434479]. Furthermore, RNA sequencing data showed that while eca-miR-223 was only observed in MVs, both eca-miR26 and eca-mir-146a were present in both MVs and cells with different count ratios [PMC6434479]. In summary, the research suggests that the expression of eca-mir-146a is increased during certain time periods. This microRNA along with others may play a role in regulating inflammation. The levels of these microRNAs can be detected using specific primers through real-time PCR, and their expression can vary between microvesicles and cells [PMC7995974] [PMC9393553] [PMC6434479].
