Upregulated MicroRNA-155 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Figure 1
Validation of miR-155 expressions using qRT-PCR and correlation assessment between miR-155 and CRP. (a) Trend of miR-155 overexpression was found in RA PBMC compared to normal controls (1.29 ± 1.42, 0.69 ± 0.31, resp., ). Triplicate assays were done for each RNA sample and the relative amount of each miRNA was normalized to U6 snRNA. (b) A positive correlation was found between miR-155 expression in PBMC and CRP level of RA patients (, ). RA: rheumatoid arthritis, HC: healthy controls.
