abstract：:It is widely reported that miR-381 is dysregulated in various tumors. However, the specific role of miR-381 in respiratory infections has not been reported. To probe this role, A549 cells were pretreated with 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 h. The level of miR-381 was detected using RT-qPCR. The expression of proinflammatory cytok...
