Expression levels and network analysis of inflammamiRs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells exposed to DDE "in vitro".

Recent studies have demonstrated that dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) induced a pro-inflammatory condition in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). However, the molecular mechanisms implicated in this condition are poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate miR-155, miR-126, and miR-21 expression levels in PBMC exposed "in vitro" to DDE.
