Figure 5 Long-chain non-coding RNA metastasis-related lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA MALAT1) can directly target microRNA-503 (miR-503) as a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA). (A) Prediction of the binding site of lncRNA MALAT1 and miR-503. (B) Double luciferase reporter gene test results. * p<0.05, compared with the no template control (NC) group. (C) Toll like receptor-4 (TLR-4) mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of PAH patients and healthy controls. (D) TLR4 protein expression in PBMCs of PAH patients and healthy controls.
