Validation of selected miRNAs by qRT-PCR. The levels of miR-142-3p (*P < 0.001), miR-630 (*P = 0.072), miR-671-5p (*P = 0.021), miR-15b-5p (*P = 0.005), miR-181b-5p (*P < 0.001), miR-125a-5p (*P < 0.001), and miR-5703 (*P < 0.001) were determined in LPS-activated moDCs of 15 negative controls (NCs) and 15 patients with SLE (a–g). Data were shown as mean ± SD. The change patterns between microarray analysis and qRT-PCR were shown in (h). NC negative controls, PCR polymerase chain reaction, SLE systemic lupus erythematosus
