For instance, administration of LPS along with prednisone/deflazacort pre-treatment in murine macrophage cells serves to confirm that NF-κB can indeed induce expression of MG-associated miRNAs (miR-21-5p, miR-30e-5p, miR-151a-3p, miR-423-5p, let-7a-5p, and let-7f-5p) within cells and that blocking NF-κB can attenuate expression of a subset of these miRNAs (miR-21-5p and miR-30e-5p). Here, NFKB1 is linked to myasthenia gravis.
