Recent studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in the development and healing of DFUs. miRNAs are a class of short noncoding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression to affect cellular functions and physiological processes. miRNAs may be involved in the development of DFUs by regulating cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. miRNAs can also participate in the healing and recovery of DFUs by regulating key steps, such as inflammation, angiogenesis, cell migration and proliferation, tissue repair and matrix remodeling. Therefore, altering the pathological processes of diabetic foot by modulating the expression of miRNAs could improve the recovery and treatment outcomes of patients.
