A quantitative PCR analysis for the expression of six miRNAs in PBMC. A, A quantitative PCR analysis for the expression of six miRNAs in PBMC in RA, OA patients and healthy volunteer. The expression level of miR-26a, miR-146a/b, miR-150 and miR-155 in RA patients were significantly higher than in healthy subjects. There were no significant differences between RA and OA patients in the expression level of miR-26a, miR-146b. Between RA and OA patients, significant differences were observed in the expression level of miR-146a, miR-150 and miR-155. B,. B., quantitative PCR analysis to examine the relationship between the expression level of Let-7a, miR-26a, 146a/b, 150, and 155 and IL-17 in RA patients. IL-17 and miR-146a was more intensely expressed in patient RA1, RA2 and RA4 than patient RA3,RA5,RA6 and OA1.
