Downregulation of miR-885-5p Promotes NF-κB Pathway Activation and Immune Recruitment in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus.

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) has a specific microRNA expression profile. MiR-885-5p has been found to be downregulated in the epidermis of CLE lesions; however, its biological role in the disease has not been studied. In this study, we show that miR-885-5p is markedly reduced in CLE keratinocytes (KCs) with IFN-α and UVB being strong miR-885-5p regulators in vitro.
