miR-196b-5p was upregulated on monocyte from LSC-PTB patients. The relative expression of miR-196b-5p on sorted CD14⁺ monocyte (a) and MDM (b) among LCS-PTB patients, N-PTB patients and HV groups were detected by qRT-PCR. Furthermore, miR-196b-5p expression on MDM or differentiated U937 cells were detected by qRT-PCR after cigarette smoke extract (CSE) treatment (c). Data were presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001
