A-to-I miR-378a-3p editing can prevent melanoma progression via regulation of PARVA expression

In melanoma, reduced ADAR1 impairs A-to-I microRNA editing. Here, the authors show that miR-378a-3p undergoes this editing in non-metastatic cells and the edited form of miR-378a-3p binds to the PARVA oncogene, inhibiting its expression and preventing melanoma progression and metastasis.
