The relationship between microRNA (miR) and immune activity in allergic rhinitis (AR) remains unclear. 37 children with AR and 30 healthy children were enrolled to study the correlation of miR-223 and IL-35. There was a significant inverse correlation between plasma levels of IL-35 and serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels and eosinophils counts, while there was a positive correlation between serum miR-223 level and ECP levels and eosinophils counts. Besides, the serum levels of IL-35 or miR-223 were found to be negatively or positively correlated with TNSS respectively. The serum level of miR-223 was increased, while IL-35 level was decreased. Moreover, the expression of miRNA-223 was inversely correlated with expression of IL-35. Finally, the levels of miR-223 and IL-35 were related to Th1/Th2 cytokines, eosinophils count as well as the clinical severity. Our study suggests the potential of miR-223 and IL-35 as a molecular target for the treatment of AR.
miR 与变应性鼻炎（AR）免疫活性之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究纳入 37 例 AR 患儿和 30 例健康儿童，研究 miR-223 与 IL-35 的相关性。结果发现，血浆 IL-35 水平与血清嗜酸性粒细胞阳离子蛋白（ECP）水平和嗜酸性粒细胞计数呈显著负相关，而血清 miR-223 水平与 ECP 水平和嗜酸性粒细胞计数呈正相关。此外，IL-35 或 miR-223 的血清水平与 TNSS 分别呈负相关或正相关。miR-223 水平升高，IL-35 水平降低。此外，miRNA-223 的表达与 IL-35 的表达呈负相关。最后，miR-223 和 IL-35 的水平与 Th1/Th2 细胞因子、嗜酸性粒细胞计数以及临床严重程度有关。本研究提示 miR-223 和 IL-35 可能成为 AR 治疗的分子靶点。
