In this present study, we have identified new and homologous miRNAs using a rigorous workflow of miRNA derivation and target prediction upon a comprehensive collection of tobacco expressed sequence tags and charted its putative roles in gene regulation via inter and intraspecies relationships. Current, computational approach have identified a total of 38 mature miRNAs comprising 31 tobacco-specific miRNAs from plant homologous families, and 7 new miRNA candidates.

Two out of these seven miRNAs have passed the updated emphasized criteria namely nta-miR403 and nta-miR8036. Interestingly, the workflow succeeded in establishing an intraspecies relationship by distinguishing the molecular targets already known in tobacco and homologous plants. Interspecies relationship between 38 tobacco miRNAs upon human transcriptome data revealed the most significant target CCDC88c (DAPLE) with perfect seed pairing of miR-156, regulating non-canonical WNT signaling pathways in cancer progression and metastasis.

S100 proteins play crucial roles in mammary gland development, differentiation, and function, participating in cellular processes such as proliferation, migration, and apoptosis.

Several immune endpoints were examined both in the primary tissues and from <em>in vitro</em> studies of T cell behavior. Our studies revealed that in the lung tumor microenvironment, exposure to BP3 not only increased the number of metastases, but also the total area of tumor coverage. We also found that BP3 caused alterations in immune populations in a tissue-dependent manner, particularly in T cells.
