Fig. 7From: Bioinformatic analysis of microRNA and mRNA Regulation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseValidation of predicted target genes of miRNAs. The expression of predicted target genes of miRNAs in PBMCs of smokers and COPD patients was examined by qRT-PCR. Data are presented as 2(−σσCt) relative to β-actin. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 compared with smokers by Mann Whitney U test.Back to article page
