Correlation between mRNA and miRNA in IFN-α response (a) The correlation between 26 genes in the IFN-α response gene set and 32 differentially expressed miRNAs (|r|> 0.5, p < 0.05). (b) Correlation diagram of the mRNA-miRNA pairs that revealed a negative correlation and were predicted to be target gene pairs from the database: The central figure demonstrates miRNA and mRNA expression levels and regression line, and the figures above and to the right of the center demonstrate box plot of the expression levels of miRNA and mRNA in MR and control groups, respectively.
