miR-124a and miR-155 enhance Treg differentiation. Human CD4+ T cells were transfected with either pre-miR-124a, pre-miR-155, or scrambled control, followed by culturing under Treg skewing conditions for 4 days. Relative Foxp3 mRNA expression was detected by qPCR (a). The number of Tregs was determined by FACS analysis (b, c). Additionally, representative histograms of the FACS analysis are shown in b and c (right panels). Data are given as means ± SD; *p < 0.01, n = 6
