MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding regulatory RNAs molecules with a size of approximately 22 nucleotides that are implicated in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional regulatory levels. Inflammatory disorders especially autoimmune diseases (ADs) occur from an abnormal immune response of body against cells of their own specific tissues or multiple organ systems leading to ch...

Dear Editor, Cigarette smoking has destructive effect on periodontal tissue. The rates of loss of periodontal attachment and recession of gingival are higher in smokers than non-smokers (1-2). Previous studies on the inflammatory immune responses in smokers’ periodontitis have mainly focused on the role of neutrophils. Tumor necrosis factor–α, prostaglandin E2 and matrix metalloproteinase...

background: leishmaniasis is a worldwide disease prevalent in tropical and sub- tropical countries in the world. characterization of inflammatory responses produced in cutaneous leishmaniasis has not yet been completed. methods: the specific primers were designed for ten pro-inflammatory genes including ccl4, ccl3, tnf-α, il-1α, il-12p35, il-12p40, ccl5, ccr5, il-1β and ifn- γ and their express...
