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

Bta-let-7c is a member of the let-7 family of microRNAs, which are small, non-coding RNA molecules involved in the regulation of gene expression [PMC5999645]. This microRNA was found to be significantly upregulated in placental exosomes compared to non-pregnant exosomes, indicating a potential role in pregnancy [PMC5999645]. Bta-let-7c expression was also significantly altered by exosome treatment, suggesting its involvement in cellular communication [PMC5999645]. Furthermore, bta-let-7c has been implicated in the regulation of inflammatory responses as its overexpression can decrease the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and NRAS [PMC5999645]. It has been observed to be upregulated following LPS challenge in bubaline PBMCs and mice whole blood, which may indicate a role in immune responses [PMC4892552]. Bta-let-7c is also among the most abundant miRNAs across various developmental stages and is considered an important nutritional component of milk across different species [PMC7073773; PMC7191744].. It may regulate glycerophospholipid metabolism by inhibiting enzymes involved in triglyceride synthesis and degradation [PMC5341059]. Despite its emerging significance, further research is needed to fully understand bta-let-7c's role during bovine mastitis and other conditions affecting cattle health [PMC7937231].
