Exploring the Fecal miRNA Profile in FMF Patients and the Role of miR-21-5p in Inflammatory Pathways Associated with FMF Pathogenesis by Chaaban, Ahlam

“…Correlation studies revealed that three anti-inflammatory miRNAs, mir-144-3p, mir-29b- 3p, and mir-374b-5p, were downregulated in M694V homozygous patients compared to those with other genotypes and six miRNAs were higher in patients with greater disease severity. The inhibition of mir-21-5p in LPS-stimulated THP-1 derived macrophages reduced the activation of NF-κB and inflammasome pathways. …”
