Simulation studies show an aberrant expression of miRNA146b with increasing concentrations of Cdiff over time, which results in decreased PPARg activation due to NCOA4 inhibition. As a final result, PPARg is unable to modulate effector and regulatory responses, since results show an upregulation of IL17 expression and downregulation of IL10 production.
