MiR-346 is an Androgen Receptor (AR)-activating miR that associates with DNA damage response (DDR)-linked transcripts in prostate cancer (PC). MiR-346 induces rapid and extensive DNA damage in PC cells through chromatin association, activation of transcription, R-loop formation and DNA replication stress, leading to checkpoint activation and cell cycle arrest. MiR-346 interacts with lncRNA, NORAD, in PC cells, which functions to maintain mitosis, DDR, and chromosomal integrity...
