bta-mir-132: bta-mir-132 is a microRNA that has been studied in various contexts. In one study, it was found that there were differentially methylated regions (DMRs) within 10-kb upstream regions of the predicted transcription start site (TSS) for bta-mir-132, indicating a potential regulatory role for DNA methylation in its expression [PMC6691986]. Additionally, hypomethylation of a DMR located 9.4 kb upstream of the bta-mir-132 gene was observed, which may explain the upregulation of bta-mir-132 in muscle tissue [PMC6691986]. In another study, the miR-132 family (including bta-mir-132) was found to be highly expressed in granulosa cells of preovulatory dominant follicles compared to subordinate follicles [PMC4438052]. Furthermore, miR-132 cluster (including bta-mir-132) and miR-183 cluster were significantly enriched in preovulatory dominant follicles compared to subordinate follicles [PMC4438052]. Bta-mir-132 and bta-miR-212 are transcribed from an intergenic region on chromosome 19 and have the same seed region [PMC4438052]. Bta-mir-132 has also been found to be downregulated in adipose tissue compared to muscle tissue during metabolic stress recovery [PMC6731312]. Additionally, it has been moderately correlated with lactose levels in lactating cows [PMC6731312]. Bta-mir-132 has also been identified as differentially expressed during mammary gland infection with Staphylococcus aureus and is involved in pathogen infection regulation [PMC6600136]. Furthermore, it has been shown to have target genes involved in system development, signal transduction, sex differentiation, and growth and development of plants [PMC5429842].
