Altered expression of miR-125a and dysregulated cytokines in systemic lupus erythematosus: Unveiling diagnostic and prognostic markers

Figure 3 The correlations of microRNA-125a with tumor necrosis factor-alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. A: The relationship between plasma levels of microRNA-125a (miR-125a) and interleukin 12 was assessed, revealing a significant negative correlation (r = -0.569, P < 0.0001) as demonstrated by Pearson correlation analysis; B: Similarly, the plasma levels of miR-125a and tumor necrosis factor-alpha showed a significant negative correlation (r = -0.570, P < 0.0001) based on the Pearson correlation study.
