The potential role of miR-146a in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of autoimmune diseases / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

MicroRNA(miR),a type of 22nt non-coding RNA,modulate gene expression at posttranscriptional level by interacting with targeting mRNA and play an important role in both inflammatory reaction and autoimmune diseases.Especially,the expression of miR-146a in autoimmune diseases has gotten more and more attention in recent studies.This review summarized the correlation between the expression of miR-146a and the pathogenesis of some common autoimmune diseases.What's more,the potential role of miR-146a in the clinical diagnosis of autoimmune diseases are also discussed.
