Abstract
Recent emerging evidence has revealed that regulatory noncoding RNAs (microRNAs, circular RNAs) modulate host-microbe interactions and they have been proposed as potential biomarkers of the host's response to microbiome-linked pathologies such as cancers, obesity, and neurodegenerative diseases. Interactions between microRNAs and circular RNAs, however, increase the complexity of the mechanisms that modulate host-microbe interactions. Current knowledge on these noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) is mainly generated from well controlled germ-free or knockout (small) animal models. Application of such knowledge to effective modulation outcomes in humans (and livestock) is challenging due to the complex nature of microbiome-linked pathologies in larger outbred animals that constantly interact with the changing environment. This review critically discusses the findings of regulatory noncoding RNAs and their roles in microbiome-linked pathologies in small and large animals and provides insights on their roles as potential therapeutic agents to improve human (and livestock) health.
