Role of cellular miRNAs in HIV/HCV co-infection: The figure summarizes the involvement of various miRNAs in the different cellular pathways commonly involved in HIV/HCV co-infection. While miR-29 and miR-155 involved in IFN-mediated suppression of viral replication, miR-122 and miR-181 inhibit apoptosis and other antiviral cellular factors to maintain a pro-viral environment within the infected cells. The red arrow denotes the inhibitory effect of miRNAs, and the green arrow represents pro-viral effects, whereas the dashed arrows signify the role of miRNAs that are yet to be examined mechanistically in HIV/HCV co-infection.
