<p>MiR-346 level was determined by quantitative RT-PCR in RA FLS and THP-1 cells stimulated with LPS (1 µg/ml) for 3 h and 6 h. U6 small nuclear RNA (RNAU6) was used as endogenous control for data normalization. The control (C) corresponded to untreated cells. Data are expressed as the mean of triplicate samples +/− SD of three independent experiments for each patient.</p
