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]
