Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a severe autoimmune inflammation that mostly affects the joints. It's a multifactorial disease. Its clinical picture depends on genetic and epigenetic factors such as miRNAs. The miRNAs are small noncoding molecules that are able to negatively or positively modulate their target gene expression. In RA, miRNAs are linked to its pathogenesis. They disrupt immunity balance by controlling granulocytes, triggering the release of several proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α, finally leading to synovium hyperplasia and inflammation. Besides, they also may trigger activation of some pathways as nuclear factor kappa-β disrupts the balance between osteoclast and osteoblast activity, leading to increased bone destruction. Moreover, miRNAs are also applied with efficiency in RA diagnosis and prognosis. Besides the significant association between miRNAs …
