Fig. 5From: High expression of miR-222-3p in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumoniaTo determine the in vivo expression of miR-222-3p in BALF, LAMPs from M. pneumoniae were used to stimulate the lungs of BALB/c mice. Massive infiltrations of inflammatory cells were found around the bronchioles in LAMP-stimulated mice (b) compared with controls (a). Furthermore the level of miR-222-3p in the BALF was significantly higher for LAMP-stimulated mice than for saline-treated controls (c)Back to article page
