miRNA screening in healthy individuals(A1-A6), syphilitic patients (C1-C6), serofast patients (B1-B6), and serologically cured patients (D1-D6). Red boxes indicate up-regulated miRNAs, and purple boxes indicate down-regulated miRNAs. The brightness indicates the magnitude of the difference. Changes in miRNA expression (FC > =1.5, P < 0.05) are illustrated by the heat map. For interpretation of the colors in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article. a Comparison of syphilitic patients and healthy individuals, b Comparison of serofast patients and serologically cured patients
