BACKGROUND: Micro-RNA represent a great family of small non-condign ribonucleic
acid molecules; in particular microRNA-126 is an important member of this family
and is expressed in many human cells such as cardiomyocytes, endothelial and lung
cells. Some studies have shown the implication of miR-126 in cancer, but recently
significant progresses have also been made in determining the role of miR-126
regulating immune-related diseases; probably, in a near future, they could
potentially serve as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets. OBJECTIVE: The
purpose of this review is to investigate the role of miR-126 in autoimmune
diseases, so as to offer innovative therapies. RESULTS: According literature, it
was concluded that miRNAs, especially miR-126, are involved in many pathologies
and that their expression levels increase in autoimmune diseases because they
interfere with the transcription of the proteins involved. Since microRNAs can be
detected from several biological sources, they may be attractive as potential
biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, disease activity and severity of various
diseases. In fact, once confirmed the involvement of miR-126 in autoimmune
diseases, it was speculated that it could be used as a promising biomarker. These
discovers implicate that miR-126 have a central role in many pathways leading to
the development and sustain of autoimmune diseases. Its key role make this
microRNA a potential therapeutic target in autoimmunity. CONCLUSION: Although
miR-126 relevant role in several immune-related diseases, further studies are
needed to clear its molecular mechanisms; the final step of these novel
researches could be the blockage or the prevention of the diseases onset by
creating of new targeted therapy.
