MicroRNA(miRNA)是一种长度约为18-25个碱基的非编码单链小分子RNA,广泛存在于多种生物体内,并且具有高度同源性。研究显示miRNA广泛参与生物体内的多种生理病理过程。本文主要阐述在自身免疫性疾病方面miRNA的相关研究进展。
MicroRNA(miRNA),a non-coding small RNA,is single-stranded and usually contains 18-25 bases.miRNA can be found in various kinds of organisms,and is found to be highly homologous.Present studies have shown that miRNA participate many important processes in the body,both physiologically and pathologically.In this review,we are going to introduce the latest results about miRNA's possible role in autoimmune disease.
