circ_0070934, miR-199a-5p and MGAT3 were differentially expressed in asthma patients and healthy controls. A–C The expression of circ_0070934, miR-199a-5p and MGAT3 in peripheral venous blood of healthy controls (N = 43) and asthmatic patients (N = 38) was determined by qRT-PCR. D ELISA was used to detect the expression level of MGAT3 protein in peripheral plasma of healthy controls (N = 43) and asthmatic patients (N = 38). E The expression level of MGAT3 in sputum of healthy controls (N = 7) and asthmatic patients (N = 9) was presented by analyzing the GSE148000 gene expression profiling dataset. The data were presented as mean ± SEM. qRT-PCR and ELISA assays were repeated three times. ns, no significant, P > 0.05; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001
