Results of multiple sclerosis :
| Expression | up-regulation |
| Risk type | Disease risk |
| Result | Brain tissues from EAE mice showed significantly higher expression of RORct (p \ 0.01, Fig. 2a), IL17 (p \ 0.01, Fig. 2a), and IL6 (p \ 0.01, Fig. 2a) mRNA in the acute phase, but significantly lower expression of miR26a (p \ 0.01, Fig. 2b) and Foxp3 (p \ 0.05, Fig. 2a). |
| Mechanism/Pathway | As shown in Fig. 4 c through d, IL6 knockdown led to the downregulation of RORct (p \ 0.05, Fig. 4c), IL17 (Fig. 4c, p \ 0.05, and d, p \ 0.01), and IL6 (p \ 0.01, Fig. 4c, d) and to the upregulation of Foxp3 (p \ 0.05, Fig. 4c), results that were similar to those found by using miR26a. |
