MIR409 is a microRNA implicated in various biological processes and diseases, including its deregulation in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), where it is expressed higher in intestinal compared to gastric tumors [PMC5796982]. It is part of the DLK1-DIO3 genomic region and belongs to cluster B of the microRNA cluster [PMC7308478]. MIR409's downregulation has been associated with the early onset of fibrosis in livers co-infected with HCV and HIV, suggesting a role in extracellular matrix remodeling [PMC8869900]. It has been predicted to target genes such as SRY-box containing gene 6 (Sox6), which could have implications for various cellular functions [PMC4488424]. MIR409, along with other muscle-specific microRNAs, has been shown to induce induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) from mouse cardiac fibroblasts, indicating its potential role in cardiac regeneration [PMC6679082]. Furthermore, MIR409's expression has been linked with traits such as weight and lean mass, suggesting its utility as a biomarker for weight loss [PMC5659802]. In pathological conditions like severe drug reactions (SJS/TEN) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), MIR409's expression levels have been associated with disease progression and prognosis [PMC9027774], [PMC10057657].
