miR-210 expression in PBMCs from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis

Background In hypoxic conditions, miRNA-210 plays an important role in regulating the expression of hypoxia-inducing factor-1α (HIF-1α) and the differentiation of T helper 17 (Th17) cells, and this may be involved in the development and function of the immune system.
