The function of miR-138 on B cell maturation in Tfh cells of patients with OS. (a) qRT-PCR verification of miR-138 expression in Tfh cells after interference or overexpression of miR-138. (b) Determination of the level of CD40L in Tfh cells of OS patients using flow cytometry. (c) The positive proportion changes of CD27 and CD38 in B cells after coculturing with CD4+CXCR5+ Tfh cells using flow cytometry detection. The level changes of (d) IgM, (e) IgG, (f) IL-10, and (g) IL-21 in the medium after coculturing with CD4+CXCR5+ Tfh cells using ELISA detection. and vs. the NC mimics group; # and ##vs. the NC inhibitor group.
