Role of microRNA in autoimmune and vasculitis / 中国免疫学杂志

miRNAs are a novel class of small, non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of multiple protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level by bind to the 3'-untranslated region ( UTR) of their target messenger RNAs. Although miRNAs constitute only 3％ of the human genome, they regulate approximately 90％ of genes. In this study, we are going to introduce the role of microRNAs in autoimmune and vasculitis disease.
