miRNAs influence tissue differentiation by regulating the expression of genes involved in the differentiation process. For example, in muscle tissue, miRNAs such as miR-1 and miR-133 play critical roles in muscle differentiation and development. They achieve this by targeting specific mRNAs that encode proteins essential for muscle cell function. Similarly, in neural tissue, miRNAs like miR-124 and miR-9 are involved in neuronal differentiation and brain development.
