Gluten-appropriate immune response is a key feature of an autoimmune clinical entity known as CD that leads to inflammation and degeneration of small intestine mucosa. However, the mechanisms responsible for this remain unclear. Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR ) was carried out on serum samples obtained from patients with CD and control groups to unravel their pathogenesis. Assessing miR-155, miR-15b, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7, IL-35and IL-37 levels in expression might be useful in diagnosing or treating the disorder. Results: A significant dysregulation of these molecular players in patients with CD compared with healthy controls has been evidenced by results from this study. For instance, miR-155 was up-regulated, whereas miR-15b was significantly down-regulated in CD, illustrating their roles in immune responses and inflammation-mediated processes. Besides, there was an over-expression of IL-2 and an under-expression of IL-37 in patients with CD, indicating these biomolecules\u2019 role in immuno-dysregulation and inflammatory process underlying CD. In addition, a positive correlation between IL-2 and miRNA 155 expression levels was observed in patients with CD, suggesting that they could be involved together with other cytokines, showing the interplay between immune response pathways and inflammatory cascades during CD pathogenesis. Conclusion: These molecular signature discoveries might result in new and revolutionary diagnostic modalities and molecular-targeted therapies for CD pathogenesis. When used with the scientific understanding of miRNAs and cytokines associated with CD pathophysiology, it creates a basis for personalized medicine based on the individualized molecular profile of all patients. This will undoubtedly increase the efficacy of CD treatment strategies. In brief, more research on molecular pathways\u2019 workings should be done to harness their potential in CD diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/mejdd.2024.388","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]],"date-time":"2024-10-08T08:33:50Z","timestamp":1728376430000},"page":"185-192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Circulating MicroRNAs and Cytokines Associated with Celiac Disease"],"prefix":"10.34172","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-6945-5959","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dargham","family":"Hammad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathological Analysis, Faculty of Science, Kufa University, Najaf, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fadyia Mahdi","family":"Muslim Alameedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathological Analysis, Faculty of Science, Kufa University, Najaf, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"20123","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mahmoudi Ghehsareh M, Asri N, Gholam-Mostafaei FS, Houri H, Forouzesh F, Ahmadipour S, et al.
