Correlation of miR-146b expression with TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, LTB-4. (A–E) Correlations of miR-146b with TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, LTB-4 in AECOPD patients. (F–J) Correlations of miR-146b with TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, LTB-4 in stable COPD patients. Spearman test was used to analyze the correlations of miR-146a/b expression with inflammatory cytokines. P < .05 was considered significant. AECOPD = acute exacerbation COPD, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, IL-1β = interleukin-1β, IL-6 = interleukin-6, IL-8 = interleukin-8, LTB-4 = leukotriene B4; TNF-α = tumor necrosis factor-α.
