Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that are excellent candidates for different cellular therapies due to their physiological properties such as immunoregulatory function. whetheare currently utilized for regenerative medication and treatment of a number of inflammatory illnesses given their ability to considerably impact tissue microenvironments via extracellular vesicles or toll-like receptor pathway modulation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that target the messenger RNA and play a critical role in different biological procedures, such as the development and reaction of the immune system. Moreover, miRNAs have recently been revealed to have serious functions in MSCs to regulate immunomodulatory properties. In this review, we study how the miRNAs pathway can modulate the immunoregulatory activity of MSCs by counting their interactions with immune cells and also discuss the possibility of using miRNA-based implications for MSC-based therapies.
