This article reviews the current regulatory role of miR-7 in inflammation and related diseases, including viral infection, autoimmune hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and encephalitis. It expounds on the molecular mechanism by which miR-7 regulates the occurrence of inflammatory diseases. Finally, the existing problems and future development directions of miR-7-based intervention on inflammation and related diseases are discussed to provide new references and help strengthen the understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammation and related diseases, as well as the development of new strategies for clinical intervention. « Back to Top DNA Damage and Consequent Inflammation in Heart Failure https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/09/dna-damage-and-consequent-inflammation-in-heart-failure/ One of the ways in which cell damage characteristic of aging can provoke inflammation is via the mislocalization of DNA. Either nuclear DNA or mitochondrial DNA can find its way to the cytosol, where it can trigger responses evolved to detect bacterial or viral infection, or severe cell damage. This creates a cascade of downstream signaling leading to an inflammatory response. In youth these events occur comparatively rarely, and in circumstances wherein immune response and potentially even cell death are beneficial. With age, however, there is a continued mild but growing level of dysfunction and consequent sustained inflammation that is never fully ...
