Schematic responses of miRNA and healthy status to environmental exposure. MiRNA expression increases in response to exposure as an adaptive mechanism. This is followed by a compensation phase where miRNA expression is reversible (curable disease). Prolonged exposure induces a non-compensation phase, and the irreversibility of miRNA is associated with the development of the disease (non-curable disease).
