Downregulation of miR-125a-5p and miR-218-5p in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory disease of the brain and spinal cord. Evidences have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathological process of MS that may confer a valuable diagnostic biomarker for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Hence, we assessed the expression pattern of miR-125a-5p and miR-218-5p in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of subjects with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
