The miRNA Landscape in Crohn's disease: Implications for novel therapeutic approaches and interactions with Existing therapies.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are non-coding RNAs consisting of 18-24 nucleotides, play a crucial role in the regulatory pathways of inflammatory diseases. Several recent investigations have examined the potential role of miRNAs in forming Crohn's disease (CD). It has been suggested that miRNAs serve as diagnostics for both fibrosis and inflammation in CD due to their involvement in the mechanisms of CD aggravation and fibrogenesis. More information on CD pathophysiology could be obtained by identifying the miRNAs concerned with CD and their target genes. These findings have prompted several in vitro and in vivo investigations into the putative function of miRNAs in CD treatment. Although there are still many unanswered questions, the growing body of evidence has brought miRNA-based therapy one step closer to clinical practice. This extensive narrative study offers a concise summary of the most current advancements in CD. We go over what is known about the diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of miRNA mimicry and inhibition so far, and we see what additional miRNA family targets could be useful for treating CD-related inflammation and fibrosis.
