Abstract
miRNA-146a, a single-stranded, non-coding RNA molecule, has emerged as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for numerous pathological conditions. Its primary function lies in regulating inflammatory processes, haemopoiesis, allergic responses, and other key aspects of the innate immune system. Several studies have indicated that polymorphisms in miRNA-146a can influence the pathogenesis of various human diseases, including autoimmune disorders and cancer. One of the key mechanisms by which miRNA-146a exerts its effects is by controlling the expression of certain proteins involved in critical pathways. It can modulate the activity of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase, IRAK1, IRAK2 adaptor proteins, and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) targeting protein receptor 6, which is a regulator of the TNF signalling pathway. In addition, miRNA-146a affects gene expression through multiple signalling pathways, such as TNF, NF-κB and MEK-1/2, and JNK-1/2. Studies have been carried out to determine the effect of miRNA-146a on cancer pathogenesis, revealing its involvement in the synthesis of stem cells, which contributes to tumourigenesis. In this review, we focus on recent discoveries that highlight the significant role played by miRNA-146a in regulating various defence mechanisms and oncogenesis. The aim of this review article is to systematically examine miRNA-146a's impact on the control of signalling pathways involved in oncopathology, immune system development, and the corresponding response to therapy.

Association between SNPs in microRNAs and microRNAs-Machinery Genes with Susceptibility of Leprosy in the Amazon Population. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231810628. [PMID: 36142557 PMCID: PMC9503809 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Leprosy is a chronic neurodermatological disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium leprae. Recent studies show that SNPs in genes related to miRNAs have been associated with several diseases in different populations. This study aimed to evaluate the association of twenty-five SNPs in genes encoding miRNAs related to biological processes and immune response with susceptibility to leprosy and its polar forms paucibacillary and multibacillary in the Brazilian Amazon. A total of 114 leprosy patients and 71 household contacts were included in this study. Genotyping was performed using TaqMan Open Array Genotyping. Ancestry-informative markers were used to estimate individual proportions of case and control groups. The SNP rs2505901 (pre-miR938) was associated with protection against the development of paucibacillary leprosy, while the SNPs rs639174 (DROSHA), rs636832 (AGO1), and rs4143815 (miR570) were associated with protection against the development of multibacillary leprosy. In contrast, the SNPs rs10739971 (pri-let-7a1), rs12904 (miR200C), and rs2168518 (miR4513) are associated with the development of the paucibacillary leprosy. The rs10739971 (pri-let-7a1) polymorphism was associated with the development of leprosy, while rs2910164 (miR146A) and rs10035440 (DROSHA) was significantly associated with an increased risk of developing multibacillary leprosy.

Assessment of Association between miR-146a Polymorphisms and Expression of miR-146a, TRAF-6, and IRAK-1 Genes in Patients with Brucellosis. Mol Biol Rep 2022; 49:1995-2002. [PMID: 34981334 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-021-07014-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Brucellosis is a major zoonosis all over the world. MicroRNAs are significant gene expression regulators and could be involved during the infections and also genetic alterations in the miRNAs sequence can affect primary miRNAs and precursor miRNAs processing and thus alter miRNAs expression. Current research studied the impact of the miR-146a polymorphism on miR-146a, TRAF-6, and IRAK-1 genes expression in patients with brucellosis illness. METHODS AND RESULTS In this research, 25 patients with brucellosis and 25 healthy participants with determined genotypes for miR-SNP rs2910164 and miR-SNP rs57095329 were recruited. IRAK-1, TRAF-6, and miR-146a expressions in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were specified by quantitative real- time PCR (qRT-PCR). Moreover, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-α) serum levels were assessed by a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. There was no significant difference in the expression level of miR-146a, IRAK-1, and TRAF-6, among the patients with brucellosis and control group. TRAF-6 PBMCs expression levels in the distinctive genotypes of rs2910164 were significantly observed in patients (P = 0.048). No significant distinctions were found in miR-146a, IRAK-1, and TRAF-6 expression levels and among the rs57095329 different genotypes in brucellosis patients and controls. Meanwhile, no significant relationship was found between the rs2910164 and rs57095329 genotypes and the serum level of cytokines mentioned between the two groups. We did not find any association between expression of TRAF-6, miR-146a, and IRAK-1 in PBMCs, and cytokines serum levels with two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miR-146a. CONCLUSIONS To the best of writers' knowledge, this research is the first one evaluating the probable link between the miR-146a rs2910164 and rs57095329 variant with miRNAs, relevant cytokine levels, and target genes in brucellosis.
