Research progress of miRNA and chronic nonbacterial prostatitis

Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis(CNP),also the typeⅢprostatitis account for more than 90%of all patients with prostatitis.It has a long course of disease,easy to repeat,unknown pathogenesis and poor clinical efficacy.At present,some scholars at home and abroad have found that there is differential expression of microRNA(miRNA)in prostatic fluid of CNP patients or prostate tissue of CNP rat model.Intervention of miRNA expression can alleviate the symptoms and pharmacodynamics of CNP to a certain extent,which opens up a new way and direction for the pathogenesis and diagnosis and treatment of CNP.Therefore,this paper reviews the research progress of miRNA and CNP in recent years.
