Correlations of miRNA expression and CD4+ T-cell count

Negative correlation		Positive correlation
miRNA	p-value	miRNA	p-value
miR-181b	< 0.002	miR-31	< 0.001
miR-16	0.051	miR-31*	< 0.004
miR-130b	0.051	miR-29a	0.015
miR-155	0.057	miR-150	0.022
		miR-29c	0.054
		miR-342-3p	0.075
		miR-34a **	0.018

For all infected samples and for all miRNAs measured with multiple replicates by quantitative PCR, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were calculated and corresponding p-values were determined using XLStat. An alpha of 0.05 was considered significant; additional results that approached significance are also shown. miR-34a (**) was significantly correlated only when the elite suppressors were considered alone.
