Aim: This study investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the involvement of miR-885 in the signaling pathways of VDR. Results: Based on their rs739837 genotype, the subjects were divided into a case group and a control group. Logistic regression was carried out to study the impact of rs739837 genotypes on the severity of asthma, and it was found that the minor allele (T) of rs739837 significantly increased the severity of asthma. Using a luciferase assay, VDR was confirmed as a miR-885 target, with a negative regulatory relationship established between VDR and miR-885. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated that VDR is an miR-885 target, while the presence of rs739837 minor allele (T) in miR-885 interferes with the interaction between miR-885 and VDR to affect the severity of asthma.
