Correlation between the expression of miR-29c and miR-146a and inflammatory factors in serum of children with MPP. A Expression of miR-29c negatively correlated with IL-17 (r = 0.86, P < 0.001). B Expression of miR-29c negatively correlated with TNF-α (r = 0.85, P < 0.001). C Expression of miR-29c negatively correlated with IL-1β (r = 0.87, P < 0.001). D Expression of miR-146a negatively correlated with IL-17 (r = 0.81, P < 0.001). E Expression of miR-146a negatively correlated with TNF-α (r = 0.83, P < 0.001). F Expression of miR-146a negatively correlated with IL-1β (r = 0.86, P < 0.001). Abbreviations: mi, micro; IL, interleukin; TNF- α, tumour necrosis factor-alpha; β, beta
