Microbiota-microRNAs interaction, its importance in the development of the immune system in calves
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate eukaryotic gene expression, as well as their involvement in a wide range of physiological processes. Temporal and regional changes in miRNA expression have been observed, as well as a correlation between miRNA expression and the microbial population of the gastrointestinal tract in early life stages in calves. This work aimed to review the current knowledge of miRNAs in cattle and the understanding of miRNAs as regulators of immune cell function and their regulation of colonization of the gastrointestinal tract in the early life stages of the animal.
