Abstract
microRNAs have emerged as essential regulators of health and disease, attracting significant attention from researchers across diverse disciplines. Following their identification as noncoding oligonucleotides intricately involved in post-transcriptional regulation of protein expression, extensive efforts were devoted to elucidating and validating their roles in fundamental metabolic pathways and multiple pathologies. Viral infections are significant modifiers of the host microRNAome. Specifically, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which affects approximately 39 million people worldwide and has no definitive cure, was reported to induce significant changes in host cell miRNA profiles. Identifying and understanding the effects of the aberrant microRNAome holds potential for early detection and therapeutic designs. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the impact of HIV on host microRNAome. We aim to review the cause-and-effect relationship between the HIV-induced aberrant microRNAome that underscores miRNA's therapeutic potential and acknowledge its limitations.
