MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs showing both evolutionarily conserved and unique features and are involved in nearly all biological processes. In the present study, the role played by miR-462/731 cluster miRNAs in hypoxia response in Megalobrama amblycephala, an important freshwater fish, was investigated. The M. amblycephala miR-462/731 cluster locus and their 5' flanking sequences were sequenced and analyzed. In M. amblycephala and other teleost fish species, the mature sequences of miR-462 and miR-731 were identical and hypoxia-responsive elements (HREs) were identified upstream of the miR-462/731 loci. The two miRNAs were significantly induced in the liver, spleen, gill, muscle, and brain after hypoxia treatment. The expression of both miRNAs was also upregulated in cells that received treatment which mimicked hypoxia. Furthermore, reporter assay revealed that M. amblycephala HREs can be activated by hypoxia. Taken together, the 462/731 cluster may play a role in the regulation of the hypoxia response in M. amblycephala.

MicroRNA clusters are microRNAs (miRNAs) that are distributed in close proximity on chromosomes. In this study, we report a miRNA cluster identified from grass carp (), miR-462-731, which plays a positive role in host antibacterial immunity. The expression of miR-462-731 was disrupted after infection by .

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as important regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression, play important roles in the occurrence and function of organs. In this study, morpholino (MO) knockdown of miR-462/miR-731 was used to investigate the potential mechanisms of the miR-462-731 cluster during zebrafish liver development. The results showed significant reduction of digestive organs, especially liver and exocrine pancreas after the miR-462/miR-731 knockdown, and those phenotypes could be partially rescued by corresponding miRNA duplex.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play significant roles in both embryonic hematopoiesis and hematological malignancy. Zebrafish miR-462-731 cluster is orthologous of miR-191-425 in human which regulates proliferation and tumorigenesis. In our previous work, miR-462-731 was found highly and ubiquitously expressed during early embryogenesis.
