Circulatory microRNAs: promising non-invasive prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for parasitic infections
2020
Overview
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a non-coding subclass of endogenous small regulatory RNAs, with about 18–25 nucleotides length which play a critical role in the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in eukaryotes. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has the potential to become powerful non-invasive biomarkers in pathological diagnosis and prognosis of different disorders including infectious diseases. Parasite’s life cycle may require the ability to respond to environmental and developmental signals through miRNA-mediated gene expressions. Over the last years, thousands of miRNAs have been identified in the helminthic and protozoan parasites and many pieces of evidence have demonstrated the functional role of miRNAs in the parasites’ life cycle. Detection of these miRNAs in biofluids of infected hosts as prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers in infectious diseases is growing rapidly. In this review, we have highlighted altered expressions of host miRNAs, detected parasitic miRNAs in the infected hosts, and suggested some perspectives for future studies.
