Fig. 3From: Circulating plasma microRNA profiling in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis before and after treatment: miRNA may be associated with polymyositis/dermatomyositisValidation of hsa-miR-4442 and hsa-miR-3187-3p expression in plasma of PM/DM patients. Quantitative RT-PCR was performed to confirm the differential expression of has-miR-4442 and hsa-miR-3187-3p in plasma of before (active) and after treatment (inactive) patients (n = 10). a The expression of hsa-miR-4442 was significantly decreased after treatment (*P < 0.05). b There was no significant difference in the expression of hsa-miR-3187-3pBack to article page
