TAB2 is involved in the effects of miR-155 on autophagy. DCs from normal controls (n=8) and active BD patients (n=8) were assessed. DCs were transfected with siRNA or control siRNA and then stimulated with 100ng/mL LPS for 24 h. a Expression levels of LC3-I, LC3-II, Beclin-1, and P62 protein in DCs from the normal controls and active BD patients were quantified by Western blot. bd Quantification of expression levels of LC3-II, Beclin-1, and P62 proteins. eg TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were measured in the culture supernatants by ELISA. *p<0.05, **p<0.01
