Speculation of the Role of miRNAs, Phase They Should Be Administered, Their Blockade/Overexpression And Reduction in HSK Lesion Severity (Mild +, Moderate ++, Severe +++)

Steps
miRNAs
Action
Preclinical (0–6 d p.i.)/Clinical Phase (7–12 d p.i.) Administration
Reduction in HSK Lesions/CV (overexpression or blockade)
Corneal neovascularization
 VEGF signaling miR-132 Promotes VEGF signaling Clinical phase Blockade (++)
 MMP-9 miR-885-5p, miR-491-5p, miR-212 Negatively regulates MMP-9 activity Preclinical phase Overexpression (+)
Inflammation
 IL-17–induced inflammation miR-23b Negatively regulates NFkB and IL-17 activity Preclinical phase Overexpression (++)
 T cell–mediated damage miR-155 Generation of Th1 and Th17 cells Clinical phase Blockade (++)
miR-29 IFN-γ production by Th1 cells Preclinical phase Blockade (+)
miR-326 and miR-309 Generation of Th17 cells Preclinical phase Blockade (+)
miR-17 and miR-20a Inhibits T cell activation Preclinical phase Blockade (+)
miR-182 T cell proliferation Preclinical phase Blockade (+)
Resolution
 T cell responses miR-146a Resolution of T cell–mediated damage Clinical phase Overexpression (+++)
Necessary for Tregs to control Th1 responses
Regulates NFkB and proinflammatory cytokines
 IL-10 production miR-21 and miR-208a Induces IL-10 production Clinical phase Overexpression (++)
 Neutrophil recruitment miR-146b Lowers IL-8 and RANTES Clinical phase Overexpression (+)
 Lipid mediator switch miR-292-2 Lowers leukotrienes and turns on SPM Clinical phase Overexpression (++)
 Tregs miR-10a Stabilizes tregs Clinical phase Overexpression (+)
