Role of MicroRNAs in Obesity-Induced Metabolic Disorder and Immune Response

Abstract EN

In all living organisms, metabolic homeostasis and the immune system are the most fundamental requirements for survival.

Recently, obesity has become a global public health issue, which is the cardinal risk factor for metabolic disorder.

Many diseases emanating from obesity-induced metabolic dysfunction are responsible for the activated immune system, including innate and adaptive responses.

Of note, inflammation is the manifest accountant signal.

Deeply studied microRNAs (miRNAs) have participated in many pathways involved in metabolism and immune responses to protect cells from multiple harmful stimulants, and they play an important role in determining the progress through targeting different inflammatory pathways.

Thus, immune response and metabolic regulation are highly integrated with miRNAs.

Collectively, miRNAs are the new targets for therapy in immune dysfunction.
