Summary
Caution, this is an AI generated summary based on literature. This may have errors. ?

MIR34A is found to be downregulated in gastric cancer cell lines, such as BGC-823, compared to normal gastric epithelium cell lines [PMC4650715]. It has been suggested that MYCN downregulates MIR34A, similar to the action of c-Myc in colon carcinoma cells [PMC6048510]. MIR34A upregulation in T cells may explain the increased induction and activated state of T cells [PMC5351619]. The expression patterns of mature MIR34A differ from pri-MIR34A in METTL3-knockdown and METTL3-overexpressing cells [PMC7347714]. MIR34A is needed to repress Lef-1 post-transcriptionally along with miR-223 [PMC6282069]. The head-to-head orientation of the MIR34A HG and lncTAM34a allows for direct binding and targeting by sequence complementarity between the RNA and promoter DNA [PMC6030072]. Disruption of both TP53 and MIR34A is associated with poor survival in cancer patients [PMC4039115]. MIR34A negatively regulates dendrite outgrowth, while miR-124 positively regulates axonal and dendritic branching [PMC5928558]. The regulation of MHC-I by MIR34A in hippocampal neurons still needs further investigation [PMC7655649]. Co-administration of MIR34A with Dox inhibits invasion and migration in breast cancer cells [PMC8463267]..\

Comments
This human miRNA was predicted by computational methods using conservation with mouse and Fugu rubripes sequences [1]. Expression of the excised miR has been validated in zebrafish, and the ends mapped by cloning. Dostie et al. independently cloned this sequence in human but misnamed the sequence miR-172 (the sequence is unrelated to MIR172 from Arabidopsis) [2]. The sequence maps to human chromosome 1. Human miR-34a was previously named miR-34 here and in [1], but is renamed to clarify homology with the alternatively named mouse sequence (MIR:MI0000584). The mature sequence shown here represents the most commonly cloned form from large-scale cloning studies [3].
