As indicated by the mimic transfection assays, we confirmed that downregulation of miRNA hsa-miR-7113-5p was indeed responsible for the upregulated state of WNT10B. Because our previous reports have shown that PTSD is associated with several downregulated miRNAs that ultimately were responsible for the induction of IFNγ, TBX21 and IL12 (Zhou et al. 2014; Bam et al. 2016b), the present data involving hsa-miR-7113-5p suggests that this mechanism may also play a role ultimately affecting the expression of proinflammatory genes by inducing WNT10B. The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is post-traumatic stress disorder.
