Nkx2-1 controls the expression of specific miRNAs. A. Hierarchical two-dimensional clustering analysis of Nkx2-1-regulated miRNA expression in MLE15 cells. Blue, Non-silenced Nkx2-1 samples; yellow, Nkx2-1-shRNA knocked-down samples. Each row corresponds to a miRNA and each column corresponds to an independent sample. Green represents lower and red higher relative expression. B. RT-qPCR validation analysis of miRNAs down- regulated (upper panels) or up-regulated (lower panels) by Nkx2-1 knockdown in MLE15 cells. Data was normalized to rnuRNA-6B. (*) p < 0.05. C. RT-qPCR analysis of miRNA expression levels in Nkx2-1PM/PM relative to Nkx2-1+/+. Data was normalized to snoRNA-202 and represented in a log scale. (*) p < 0.05.
