Deciphering the In vitro Role of microRNAs miR-21-3p and miR-222-5p In the Regulation of Clostridioides difficile Flagellin-Induced Inflammation by Salman, Zeina

“…Functional assays revealed that miR-222-5p overexpression led to a significant increased expression of key pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-8 and TNF-α, while knockdown of these miRNAs resulted in their decreased expression. Western blot and pathway analyses demonstrated that miR-222-5p and miR-21-3p overexpression increased phosphorylation of p65, a key component of the NF-κB complex, while their knockdown reduced p65 phosphorylation. …”
