Figure 3

Correlation of miR-155, miR-146a expressions and urinary protein excretion, serum creatinine of the DN patients. Urinary protein was measured by a competitive ELISA and the serum creatinine level was detected by a QuantiChrom Creatinine Assay. The miR-155 and miR-146a expression levels were confirmed by a real-time PCR. A linear correlation analysis was performed between the miR-155 and urinary protein (A); miR-155 and serum creatinine (B); miR-146a and urinary protein (C); and miR-146a and serum creatinine (D). The linear correlation analysis showed the expression of miR-155 was closely correlated with the serum creatinine level (R = 0.95, P = 0.004).
