miR-21 and cathepsin B in familial Mediterranean fever: novel findings regarding their impact on disease severity by Emrah Yucesan, Mehmet Yildiz, Ramila Hajiyeva

“…Multivariate logistic regression showed that in FMF, a one-unit decrease in miR-21 increased disease severity risk 6.76-fold, while a one-unit increase in cathepsin B raised it 1.71-fold.Conclusion This might be considered one of the mechanisms for subclinical inflammation in paediatric FMF patients through increased activation of cytokines via the downregulation of miR-21-5p. Our findings suggest that miR-21-5p and IL-1β play key roles in subclinical inflammation, and these molecules might be a potential therapeutic target.…”
