| Abstract |
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that cut or introduced into the genome, and they represent a massive portion of the human genome. TEs generate a considerable number of microRNAs (miRNAs) are derived from TEs (MDTEs). Numerous miRNAs are related to cancer, and hsa-miRNA-625 is a well-known oncomiR derived from long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs). The relative expression of hsa-miRNA-625-5p differs in humans, chimpanzees, crab-eating monkeys, and mice, and four primers were designed against the 3'UTR of GATAD2B to analyze the different quantities of canonical binding sites and the location of miRNA binding sites. Luciferase assay was performed to score for the interaction between hsa-miRNA-625 and the 3'UTR of GATAD2B, while blocking NF-κB. In summary, the different numbers of canonical binding sites and the locations of miRNA binding sites affect gene expression, and NF-κB induces the enhancer activity of hsa-miRNA-625-5p by sharing the binding sites.
