hsa-miR-122, because it’s a liver-specific miR and it accounts of 70% of hepatic microRNA. This is a very special microRNA.

miR-33 because it gives only 3 hits on PubMed and no target has been validated so far, although it’s so clear where to look for…

I vote miR-9 for carcinogenesis implication.

mmu-miR-124, because it seems to be the simplest of them all on the surface of it (seemingly just maintains nervous tissue identity). But with recent papers from groups of Kandel, Bartel and Miska – nobody deeply understands it’s role! And it is a good example of how little we know about non-coding RNAs..

My favourite miR is let-7a. The reason is that it is expressed in proliferating cells, but it is inactive (probably uridinylated, as by northern blots showing a higher MW). When the differentiation occurs, it is apparently at the same level or decreased, but it is active since its target genes are downregulated.

at the moment my favourite miR is miR-328, since up to now it is the only one that was found to upregulate a proteinexpression

miR-168 is known to regulate AGO1 which is involved in the miRNA biogenesis

Supposed to be miR-21 and miR-34a, interesting counterparts of carcinogenesis.
