Table 4 miRNAs function in regulating immune checkpoint inhibitors in various diseases

From: MicroRNAs as regulators of immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy: targeting PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 pathways

Disease

miRNA

Mechanism

Effect

Chronic hepatitis B

miR-138

Targets of PD-1, inhibiting its expression

Upregulates antiviral cytokines

Tuberculosis

miR-31

Regulated by the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway

Influences the differentiation of T cell subsets and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines

Cardiac damage

miR-34a

Modulates the miR-34a/KLF4 signaling pathway

Facilitates M1 polarization and cardiac injury

Sepsis-induced ARDS

miR-214-5p

PD-1 interaction

Abnormal increase in circFLNA expression

Intestinal ischemia–reperfusion injury

miR-155

Activates the IL-10/miR-155 pathway

Mitigates intestinal barrier damage and modulates immune responses

Myelodysplastic Syndromes

miR-155-5p

Induces expression of PD-L1

Suppresses production of blood cells in bone marrow

Behcet's disease

miR-155

Upregulates TNF-α, downregulates CTLA-4

Elevated expression of miR-155, associated with TNF-α and CTLA-4 genes
