Abstract We predicted miRNAs with regulatory impact on NFKB1 and TRAF6 gene expression and selected the miR-194-5p, miR-124-3p, miR-9-5p, and miR-340-5p and their target genes for expression analyses on CD14+ monocytes from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and healthy controls. Additionally, we evaluated the influence of genes and miRNA expression on RA patients’ cytokine levels. No difference was observed in genes or miRNAs expression when compared to healthy controls and RA patients or clinical parameters. However, we found a significant difference between miR-194-5p and miR-9-5p levels (FC=-2.31; p=0.031; FC=-3.05;p=0.031, respectively) and non-prednisone users as compared to prednisone using patients. We conducted correlation analyses to identify the strength of the relationship between expression data and cytokine plasma levels. We observed a moderate positive correlation between miR-124-3p expression and IL-6 plasma levels (r=0.46; p=0.033). In addition, overexpression of miRNAs was concomitant to TRAF6 and NFKB1 genes as indicated by correlation analyses: TRAF6 and miR-194-5p (r=0.60;p |
