This review summarizes current evidence on the molecular crosstalk between herbal phytochemicals and microRNAs (miRNAs) in the context of electronic cigarette vapor exposure, emphasizing their roles in oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue remodelling. Literature was systematically examined to evaluate in vitro, in vivo, and bioinformatics findings on phytochemicals commonly incorporated in herbal e-liquids. Key molecular pathways (NF-κB, Nrf2/HO-1, MAPK, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and TGF-β/Smad) and miRNA regulators were analyzed to elucidate mechanisms of lung injury and protection. The search strategy involved PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, using the keywords “herbal e-liquid,” “phytochemicals,” “lung injury,” “miRNA,” and “molecular pathway.” Evidence indicates that bioactive phytochemicals such as quercetin, linalool, and EGCG can modulate the expression of miRNAs (e.g., miR-21, miR-146a, miR-155, miR-210), thereby regulating inflammatory and oxidative responses. Crosstalk between these phytochemicals and miRNAs contributes to dual effects: mitigating reactive oxygen species and cytokine overproduction, while in some cases promoting pro-inflammatory or fibrotic signalling under chronic exposure. This bidirectional modulation highlights the complex balance between potential therapeutic benefits and risks of herbal vapor inhalation. Herbal electronic cigarettes cannot be considered risk-free. Their phytochemicals engage in intricate interactions with miRNA networks and molecular pathways that may influence respiratory health. Understanding this molecular crosstalk is essential for evaluating safety, guiding regulatory strategies, and identifying therapeutic prospects of phytochemical-based inhalation systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12147,"journal":{"name":"Fitoterapia","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 107120"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146118311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(<em>U. dioica</em>) has shown anti-inflammatory effects and is regarded as a potential natural agent for treating chronic inflammatory conditions. The differential effects of <em>U. dioica</em> preparations have not yet been investigated. The influence of nine different <em>U. dioica</em> preparations (teas, extracts, juice and tincture) on proliferation, apoptosis/necrosis and viability of primary human T cells were analyzed with standard methods. The effect on T lymphocytes was evaluated via cluster of differentiation (CD)25/CD69 marker expression, degranulation assays and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Using Jurkat reporter cell lines, an influence on transcription factors was analyzed. <em>U. dioica</em> preparations selectively modulate T cell activation by downregulating the key activation markers CD25 and CD69. In addition, they reduce the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-2, inhibit T cell degranulation and suppress nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT)-dependent transcription. The results highlight the potential of <em>U. dioica</em> as a natural agent, capable to modulate T cell-mediated immune responses.
