Figure 2. MiRNA candidate expression of peripheral blood cells from children with tuberculosis and LTBI.

Figure 2

Expression of miR-21 (triangles), miR-26a (squares), miR-29a (circles), and miR-142-3p (diamonds) in whole blood is shown for children with tuberculosis (TB, black symbols), healthy latently M. tuberculosis children (LTBI, grey symbols), and PPD negative contacts (PPDneg, open symbols) (A) as well as for children with tuberculosis under therapy and recovery (B). Each symbol indicates miRNA candidate expression for an individual donor relative to ‘housekeeping’ control RNU48. Significant differences are indicated as asterisks (* for P<0.05; ** for P<0.01, Mann-Whitney U-test). Exact P-values (Mann-Whitney U-test) are indicated for tendencies.
