Validation and identification of microRNAs in stimulated BMDM. Macrophages were cultured in the presence of TcES (25 μg/mL), LPS (1 μg/mL), or a combination of TcES+LPS for 4 (left bar) and 24 h poststimulus (right bar). Relative levels of selected microRNAs were determined by TaqMan miRNA assays after normalization with 18S RNA. MicroRNA levels are represented as fold change relative to PBS-treated BMDM (). Data shown are representative of two independent experiments. Significance was calculated using -test. , , and .
