Table 1.
Shows a list of miRNAs responsible for the activation and function of the immune system.
| miRNA | Target Gene | Effect | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Let-7 | IL-6 | Reduces the expression of IL-6 | [56] |
| miR-24 | Chitinase 3-like 1 | Overexpression enhances the production of Arg-1, CCL-17, CCL-22, CD-163, and CD106, but decreases the production of phenotype markers in stimulated macrophages | [57] |
| miR-124 | TLR | stimulate anti-inflammatory actions by downregulating TLR-6 and Myd-88 | [58] |
| miR- 126 | VCAM-1 | An enhanced expression is seen as a response to hyperlipidemia treatment. | [59] |
| miR-132 | NF-κB | Overexpression stimulates the translocation of NF-κB, acetylation of p65, and secretion of IL-8 and MCP-1 | [60] |
| IL-6 | Related to macrophage infiltration and IL-6 levels in people with non-alcoholic liver disease | ||
| miR-145 | TNF-α | Positive effect on the secretion of TNF-α | [61] |
| miR-146 | IL-1β | IRAK suppress miR-164 resulting in increased expression of IL-1 and control the inflammatory response in periodontal inflammation | [62], [63] |
| TNF-α | miR-146 is NF-κB dependent and acts as an inhibitor targeted to signalling proteins of an innate immune response | ||
| miR-155 | IL-1 | During Dendritic cell maturation, it regulates the TLR/IL-1 pathway. | [64] |
| miR-181 | NF-κB/VCAM-1/E-selectin | Overexpression inhibits import in a3 expression and an enriched set of NF-κB-responsive genes | [65] |
| miR-187 | TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-2 | Regulates Cytokines production | [66] |
| miR-221 | TNF-α | Down-regulated by TNF-α | [67] |
| miR-222 | ICAM-1 | Reduces the ICAM-1 expression and prevents the interaction of cytotoxic cell to tumour cells | |
| miR-223 | PAI-1 | Prevent the accumulation of NLRP3 protein and suppress IL1b secretion from the inflammasome | [68] |
