The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to decreasing the bioavailability of one or more target biomolecules by providing a composition that comprises a recombinant plasmid with one or more sequences of micro interfering ribonucleic acid (miRNA). When the recombinant plasmid interacts with a target cell, it causes the target cell to upregulate production of the miRNA, which then decreases the bioavailability of the target biomolecule. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is a cytokine or other mediator molecule of an inflammatory response.

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions or methods that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of micro-interfering ribonucleic acid (miRNA). The sequences of miRNA may be complimentary to a sequence of target messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes for translation of a target biomolecule, such as JAK. The miRNA can cause the target mRNA to be degraded or inactivated, thereby causing a decrease in bioavailability of the target biomolecule because it is degraded or inactivated by the miRNA. Decreasing the bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions may address the afflictions experienced by the subject due to expression of the target biomolecule.

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions or methods that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of micro interfering ribonucleic acid (miRNA). The sequences of miRNA may be complimentary to a sequence of target messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes for translation of a target biomolecule, such as ETS2. The miRNA can cause the target mRNA to be degraded or inactivated, thereby causing a decrease in bioavailability of the target biomolecule because it is degraded or inactivated by the miRNA. Decreasing the bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions may address the afflictions experienced by the subject due to overexpression of the target biomolecule.
