Certain intron-3 miRNAs may be involved in TGFβ/SMAD-mediated responses (let-7a-2–3p) and others (miR-100, miR-125b) in resistance to cytotoxic drugs mediated by MIR100HG. In support of a model whereby TGFβ induces MIR100HG, which then enhances TGFβ1 secretion, analysis of human carcinomas showed that MIR100HG expression correlated with expression of TGFB1 and its downstream extracellular target TGFBI. Thus, MIR100HG controls the magnitude of TGFβ signaling via TGFβ1 autoinduction and secretion in carcinomas. This evidence concerns the gene MIR100HG and carcinoma.
