Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of the identified miRNAs in: ( I ) colon [(A) mmu-miR-199a-3p; (B) mmu-miR-199a-5p; (C) mmu-miR-21a-3p; (D) mmu-miR-21a-5p, (E) mmu-miR-34a-5p; (F) mmu-miR-126a-3p; (G) mmu-miR-126a-5p; (H) mmu-miR-7b-5p] and ( II ) small intestinal tissue [(A) mmu-miR-146a-5p; and (B) mmu-miR-142a-3p] of biotin-deficient and their pair-fed control mice. The levels of miRNA expression were analyzed using RNA samples extracted from mouse intestinal tissue by RT-qPCR analysis. Data are means ± SE of 4 pairs of animals (n = 4). All miRNA expression results were normalized relative to internal control miRNAs RNU1A1 and UniSp6, and comparison was made relative to simultaneously performed controls as described in Methods. Statistical significance was evaluated by the Student’s t -test using GraphPad Prism software. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: Transient transfection of NCM460 cells was done using 200 nM miRNA mimic miR-190a-5p (MCE MedChemExpress, Cat# HY- R00361 ) and miR-199a-5p (MCE MedChemExpress, Cat# HY- R00399 ) with appropriate negative control miRNA mimic (MCE MedChemExpress, Cat# HY- R04602 ) for 48 h, using RNAiMax (Cat# 13778150) transfection reagent to achieve maximum transfection efficiency (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).
