| Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and pain in the joints, which causes damage to joint function and leads to joint deformity. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous, short, and highly conserved single-stranded non-coding RNAs. A large number of studies have shown that miR-155, as a member of miRNA, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of RA. Therefore, this article aims to review the mechanism and research progress of miR-155 in RA, focusing on how it affects the occurrence and development of RA by targeting key links such as inflammatory response, differentiation and function of T cells and B cells, and polarization of macrophages, and regulating NF-κB, PI3K/AKT and STAT signaling pathways. At the same time, the intervention effect of traditional Chinese medicine on RA is discussed to provide reference and new strategies for the related research of miR-155 and RA. |
