Abstract:
The symptoms of Behçet's disease (BD), a multisystemic condition with autoimmune and inflammation as hallmarks, include arthritis, recurring oral and vaginal ulcers, skin rashes and lesions, and involvement of the nervous, gastrointestinal, and vascular systems. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), may be important regulators of inflammation and autoimmune disease. These ncRNAs are essential to the physiological and pathophysiological disease course, and miRNA in particular has received significant attention for its role and function in BD and its potential use as a diagnostic biomarker in recent years. Although promising as therapeutic targets, miRNAs must be studied further to fully comprehend how miRNAs in BD act biologically.
