Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that bind to mRNAs to regulate gene expression. Since changes in miRNA expression levels have been found in a variety of autoimmune illnesses, miRNAs are important in autoimmune diseases. MiRNAs serve not only as pathogenic factors and biomarkers for autoimmune diseases but also as important targets for disease therapeutics. Although miRNA-based treatments are still in the research stage, in-depth investigations into the biological functions of miRNAs have significantly enhanced our understanding of their mechanisms in autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this review is to summarize the biological functions of miRNAs, their roles in rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, therapeutic strategies, and challenges.
