Abstract

Innate immunity is the first line of defence against pathogenic microorganisms and is nearly universal among eukaryotes. The innate immune system is composed of various organs, cells and immune molecules. MicroRNAs (miRs) are a class of small non‑coding RNAs (~22 nucleotides) that are widely involved in post‑transcriptional regulation of proteins within the innate immune system through the recognition of seed sequences. The present review summarizes the role of the miR‑29 family in innate immunity, with a focus on its specific functions in the differentiation of T cells, B cells, natural killer cells and macrophages, as well as the mechanisms by which the miR‑29 family participates in innate immune signalling. Additionally, this review discusses how the miR‑29 family helps the host combat infections by hepatitis B and C viruses, human immunodeficiency virus and influenza A virus through the regulation of specific signalling molecules. This comprehensive analysis of existing studies emphasizes the importance of the miR‑29 family in maintaining immune balance and defence against pathogens.
