Periodontal Tissue Homoeostasis, Immunity, the Red Complex Pathogens, and Dysbiosis: Unraveling the microRNA Effect.

Abstract

microRNAs are a family of small, non-coding RNA molecules that can regulate the translation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Numerous miRNAs have been proposed as potential indicators for periodontal disease, and their regulation might serve as a potent means of restricting the disease process. MiRNAs act as important immune system regulators that promote the production of many cytokines, including interferon (IFN), tumour necrosis factor (TNF), and IL-1as well as RANK. Investigations pertaining to the use of specific miRNAs as therapeutic agents are underway. They can influence a variety of regulatory organs and target several genes. Additionally, distinct components of the same expression pathway can be controlled by combining miRNAs and their antagonists. In recent years, many miRNA delivery methods have been created for therapeutic applications. Studies pertaining to the role of miRNAs in periodontal disease pathogenesis may pave the way for the use of miRNAs as biomarkers of periodontal disease. A complete understanding of the role of miRNA in periodontal disease and its mechanism of action can pave the way towards therapeutic strategies that can reduce or even prevent the progression of periodontal diseases.
