Fig. 2From: Upregulation of miR-196b-5p attenuates BCG uptake via targeting SOCS3 and activating STAT3 in macrophages from patients with long-term cigarette smoking-related active pulmonary tuberculosisIL-6 and TNF-α were suppressed on monocytes from LCS-PTB patients. The production of IL-6 (a), TNF-α (b) and IL-10 (c) of monocytes among LCS-PTB patients, N-PTB patients, and HV groups were detected by FCM analysis. And the serum IL-6 (d), TNF-α (e) and IL-10 (f) levels among LCS-PTB patients, N-PTB patients, and HV groups were detected by ELISA. Data were presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001Back to article page
