Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have become essential modulators in many brain
disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatry disorders, and
chronic pain syndromes, and they play a critical role in controlling
gene expression. This review investigates how disorders of the nervous
system and pain research are affected by malfunctions in the miRNA
biogenesis machinery. Despite tremendous progress, we still don’t fully
understand how these molecular regulators affect neuropathological
processes. Even with the increasing amount of research, little is known
about the malfunctions of the miRNA machinery, especially when it comes
to the nervous system and the diseases that are linked to it. The
results of recent research are compiled in this review, which emphasizes
the role that disruptions in miRNA processing enzymes, including Drosha,
Dicer, Argonaute, and RISC proteins, play in neurological conditions
like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as more general
neurodegeneration. We also go over current studies on the
stimulus-dependent, temporal, and spatial expression patterns of these
essential miRNA biogenesis components in pain. These discoveries broaden
our knowledge of the fundamental processes behind pain-related illnesses
and present prospective directions for focused therapeutic approaches.
