CRP and rheumatoid arthritis: miR-23b levels were found to be significantly elevated in the synovial tissue cells and plasma of RA patients and positively correlated with platelet (PLT) counts, CRP, hypersensitive-CRP (hs-CRP), ESR, and DAS28 (p < 0.05), and treatment reversed the trend of elevated plasma miR-23b levels (107).
