miRNAs are known as non-coding RNAs that can regulate gene expression. They are reported in many microorganisms and their host cells. Parasite infection can change or shift host miRNAs expression, which can aim at both parasite eradication and infection.
This study dealt with examination of miRNA expressed in intestinal protozoan, coccidia , as well as profile changes in host cell miRNA after parasitic infection and their role in protozoan clearance/ survival.
The authors searched ISI Web of Sciences, Pubmed, Scholar, Scopus, another databases and articles published up to 2024 were included. The keywords of miRNA, intestinal protozoa, toxoplasma and some words associated with topics were used in this search.
Transfection of miRNA mimics or inhibitors can control parasitic diseases, and be introduced as a new therapeutic option in parasitology.
This review can be used to provide up-to date knowledge for future research on these issues.
miRNA 被称为非编码 RNA,能够调控基因表达。它们在许多微生物及其宿主细胞中均有报道。寄生虫感染可以改变或改变宿主 miRNA 的表达,这既可以针对寄生虫的清除,也可以针对寄生虫的感染。
本研究旨在检测肠道原生动物、球虫中的 miRNA 表达情况,以及寄生虫感染后宿主细胞 miRNA 的谱变化及其在原生动物清除/存活中的作用。
作者检索了 ISI Web of Sciences、Pubmed、Scholar、Scopus 等数据库,纳入截至 2024 年发表的文章。本研究的检索词包括 miRNA、肠道原生动物、弓形虫和一些与主题相关的词。
转染 miRNA 模拟物或抑制剂可以控制寄生虫病,并作为寄生虫学中的一种新的治疗选择。
本综述可用于为今后对这些问题的研究提供最新知识。
