Table 2. Comparison of proportion of Th2 and Th17 cells in peripheral blood among the normal, asthma, asthma + miR-145 mimic, asthma + miR-145 mimic NC, asthma + si-EGFR and asthma + si-EGFR NC groups.
| Group | Th2 cell (%) | Th17 cell (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 0.53 ± 0.19 | 0.92 ± 0.28 |
| Asthma | 0.91 ± 0.23* | 3.54 ± 0.61* |
| Asthma + miR-145 mimics | 0.64 ± 0.12# | 0.99 ± 0.26# |
| Asthma + miR-145 mimics NC | 0.96 ± 0.18* | 3.45 ± 0.29* |
| Asthma + si-EGFR | 0.69 ± 0.21# | 1.09 ± 0.31# |
| Asthma + si-EGFR NC | 0.92 ± 0.16* | 3.29 ± 0.51* |
Note: *, P < 0.05 in comparison with the normal control group; #, P < 0.05 in comparison with the asthma, asthma + miR-145 mimics NC and asthma + si-EGFR NC groups; miR-145, microRNA-145; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor.
