miRNAs enrichment analysis identified miR-155-5p and is overexpressed in fHP lung fibroblasts. (A) Top candidate miRNAs with validated interactions with the DEGs in HP lungs compared to control and IPF. The miRNAs are listed in descending order from top to bottom according to the number of interactions. (B) Basal expression of miR-155-5p determined by qPCR (n = 4 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SD by one-way ANOVA. The results represent three independent experiments**p < 0.01. CTRL: controls; fHP: hypersensitivity pneumonitis; IPF: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
