Abstract:
In conjunction with the development of genome-wide technology, numerous studies have revealed the importance of regulatory mechanisms to avoid the onset of autoimmunity. In this, protein regulators and the newly identified low-abundant RNA species participate in the regulation of type I interferon (IFN-I) and proinflammatory genes induced by innate immune sensors. In this review, we briefly look into some of the autoimmune diseases profiled by dysregulations of IFN-I signaling and the regulatory mechanisms critical for immunological homeostasis.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
