Abstract:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the common complications of diabetes, with clinical manifestations including limb pain, numbness, paresthesia and ulceration. DPN is the main cause of nontraumatic amputation. MicroRNA (miRNA) belongs to noncoding RNA (ncRNA) and is an evolutionarily highly conservative RNA, usually 18-25 bases in length. MiRNA has been reported one after another by regulating the roles of multiple genes in a variety of diseases and cell types, such as cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, posttranscriptional gene regulation, and others. Studies have found that miRNA is closely related to nerve conduction, injury, and apoptosis, so miRNA can be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of DPN and as targets for potential molecular therapy. This article mainly reviews the role of miRNA in DPN and the related research progress based on miRNA therapy.
