Microarray analysis, target gene prediction, and Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were conducted to identify differentially expressed microRNAs (DEmiRNAs). The plasma levels of NLRP3 and related cytokines were quantified using enzyme\u2010linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the regulatory effect of miR\u20101246 on NLRP3 was measured in vitro. Diagnostic performance was assessed based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for miR\u20101246 alone and in combination with the rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Plasma exosomal miR\u20101246 was significantly upregulated in SF patients (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), whereas NLRP3 and its associated factors were downregulated (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). In vitro experiments confirmed that miR\u20101246 negatively regulated NLRP3 inflammasome activity. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the target genes of DEmiRNAs were involved in multiple biological processes and signalling pathways.
