Human miRNAs have recently been found to have important roles in viral replication. Understanding the patterns and details of human miRNA interactions during virus-host interactions may help uncover novel antiviral therapies. Based on the abundance of knowledge available regarding protein-protein interactions (PPI), virus-host protein interactions, experimentally validated human miRNA-target pairs and transcriptional regulation of human miRNAs, it is possible to explore the complex regulatory network that exists between viral proteins and human miRNAs at the system level.
