Abstract:
A growing body of evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs may be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of diabetes, given their changed expression profile as the disease progresses. There is growing interest in using individual miRNAs or whole miRNA clusters linked to diabetes as therapeutic targets because of their abnormal expression and functioning. In diabetes, miRNAs are also involved in inflammatory and immunological responses. Additionally, the inflammatory response controls the generation, processing, and stability of pre- or mature miRNAs and miRNA biogenesis. With a comprehensive grasp of molecular biological activities and the signaling axis, this review emphasizes the critical functions of miRNAs in inflammatory and immunological processes in diabetes. We further emphasized the potential role of these miRNAs in controlling inflammation associated with diabetes. This assessment will direct the shift from many studies to practical applications for tailored diabetes treatment and assist in identifying new therapeutic targets and approaches.
