miR-155: An Important Role in Inflammation Response by Jingyan Hu, Songli Huang, Xiaoli Liu, Yuan Zhang, Shengli Wei, Xiuhua Hu

“…MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, mature, noncoding RNA that lead to posttranscriptional gene silencing to regulate gene expression. miRNAs are instrumental in biological processes such as cell development, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and cell apoptosis. The miRNA-mediated gene silencing is an important part of the regulation of gene expression in many kinds of diseases. miR-155, one of the best-characterized miRNAs, has been found to be closely related to physiological and pathological processes. …”
