Bioinformatic and direct cloning approaches have led to the identification of over 100 novel miRNAs expressed in DNA viruses, although the function of the majority of these small regulatory RNA molecules is unclear. Recently, a number of reports have now identified potential targets of viral miRNAs, including cellular and viral genes as well as an ortholog of an important immuno-regulatory cellular miRNA. In this review, we will cover the identification and characterization of miRNAs expressed in the herpesvirus family and discuss the potential significance of their role in viral infection.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gene regulators essential for cell homeostasis, their alteration is related to a pathological state, including infectious diseases like COVID-19. Identifying an altered profile of circulating miRNAs in mild COVID-19 may enhance our knowledge of the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and the range of clinical phenotypes. In the present study, a miRNA screening was performed by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), and the expression levels of 13 resulting miRNAs were validated through RT-qPCR in the serum of 40 mild cases compared to 29 non-infected individuals.

Objective: We explored the mechanism of action of microRNA-146a in the lung cancer cell line A549 through the Noth1/Hes-1 signal pathway.
Methods: A549 cells were divided into a control NT group without transfection, NC group with transfection of miR-146a-NC, and MM group with transfection of miR-146a mimics. We employed qRT-PCR, MTT, Hoechst33258 fluorescence staining, Transwell assay, cell wound scratch assay, and Western blot for detection of the expression of miR-146a and Notch1/Hes-1, cell activity, apoptotic capacity, and invasion and migration abilities.
