Investigation of miRNAs that are effective in the pathogenesis of asthma.

The results of our study suggest that miR142-5p, miR376c-3p and miR22-3p promote Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis by inhibiting TGF-β expression through a mechanism involving the p53 signaling pathway. The deregulated miRNAs may be used as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in asthma.
