MicroRNAs (miRNAs) were first discovered as regulatory RNAs that controlled the
timing of the larval development of Caenorhabditis elegans. Since then, nearly
30,000 mature miRNA products have been found in many species, including plants,
warms, flies and mammals. Currently, miRNAs are well established as endogenous
small (~22 nt) noncoding RNAs, which have functions in regulating mRNA stability
and translation. Owing to intensive investigations during the last decade, miRNAs
were found to play essential roles in regulating many physiological and
pathological processes. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic
autoimmune disease characterized by elevated autoantibodies against nuclear
antigens and excessive inflammatory responses affecting multiple organs. Although
efforts were taken and theories were produced to elucidate the pathogenesis of
SLE, we still lack sufficient knowledge about the disease for developing
effective therapies for lupus patients. Recent advances indicate that miRNAs are
involved in the development of SLE, which gives us new insights into the
pathogenesis of SLE and might lead to the finding of new therapeutic targets.
Here, we will review recent discoveries about how miRNAs are involved in the
pathogenesis of SLE and how it can promote the development of new therapy.
