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

MIR122 is a liver-specific microRNA that plays a role in various biological processes, including liver metabolism, viral replication, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development [PMC7352235]. It has been shown that ADAM10 processes surface c-Met and mediates c-Met ecto-domain shedding, and the effects of MIR122 on the release of soluble c-Met were studied [PMC7352235]. MIR122 is involved in the regulation of hepatic gluconeogenesis and lipid metabolism through HNF-4α [PMC4806913]. Reduced MIR122 function leads to promoter methylation and decreased SOCS3 expression, which is not a direct target of MIR122 [PMC3434395]. HAV-RNA replication does not require MIR122 [PMC7165973]. The inhibitory effect of apigenin on HCV replication is possibly explained by decreasing the levels of mature MIR122 through the inhibition of TRBP phosphorylation [PMC5812025]. Incorporating the target sequence for MIR122 in the 3'untranslated region of the E1A gene can reduce virus replication in normal hepatocytes [PMC7281331]. MIR122, miR34a, and miR379 can be used as markers for early detection or monitoring NAFLD development [PMC9738374]. Deprivation of arginine or combination therapy with sorafenib and drugs that enhance MIR122 expression may be useful for managing HCC with reduced MIR122 expression levels [PMC4480756]. The expression levels of molecules including MIR122 were higher or similar to control cells in Vero/MIR122+SRBI+ApoE cells compared to Huh-7.5.1 cells [PMC4916372]. AKT3 absence partially reproduces effects induced by MIR122 expression but is not sufficient to fully reduce tumor size in BCLC9 cells [PMC5342080].
