Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disease that causes joint deformation. Till now several studies has been carried out promising its cure, but curing has not yet achieved to the satisfactory levels. Herbal approach to treat disease by a cross-kingdom mechanism via exogenous miRNA is an emerging trend to target associated genes with RA pathogenesis as a therapeutic potential. The concept of acquired/exogenous miRNA into pathophysiological prospect provides an opportunity to explore inter-species kingdom like regulation of plant miRNAs on human health. The change in gene expression was attributed by a short 22-24 nucleotide long sequence that binds to its complementary region to suppress/silence the gene expression. This makes exogenous miRNA a novel approach for targeted therapy to treat complex chronic inflammatory diseases. Here, aim of the review was to address significance of plant derived miRNA based targeted therapy to regulate inflammation in RA.
