Abstract
Purpose of Review
The study of microRNA in asthma has revealed a vibrant new level of gene regulation underlying asthma pathology. Several miRNAs have been shown to be important in asthma, influencing various biological mechanisms which lead to asthma pathology and symptoms. In addition, miRNAs have been proposed as biomarkers of asthma affection status, asthma severity, and asthma treatment response. We review all recent asthma-miRNA work, while also presenting comprehensive tables of all miRNA results related to asthma.
Recent Findings
We here reviewed 63 recent studies published reporting asthma and miRNA research, and an additional 14 reviews of the same. We summarized the information for both adult and childhood asthma, as well as research on miRNAs in asthma–COPD overlap syndrome (ACOs), and virus-induced asthma exacerbations.
Summary
We attempted to present a comprehensive collection of recently published asthma-associated miRNAs as well as tables of all published asthma-related miRNA results.
