Positive regulation of innate immune response by miRNA-let-7a-5p.

ABSTRACT: Background: We have hypothesized that different factors are involved in the severity of ACD and AD because some but not all patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) present with allergic conjunctival disease (ACD) including severe types such as atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) with/without giant papillae. We previously reported that plasma miR-628-3p was up-regulated in AD with severe ACD, but not in severe AD without severe ACD or in our healthy controls. In this study, to investigate the pathogenesis of AD with and without severe ACD, we performed comprehensive plasma miRNA analysis and studied the function of some miRNAs which were significantly up-regulated in ACD. Methods: Transcriptomics analysis of miRNA was performed using the microarray platform from the plasma of nine
