Figure 5. Expressions of the 57 conserved mature miRNAs in eight organs of the Asian seabass.

Figure 5

The expression of 63 miRNA was determined in 8 organs (gill, brain, eye, muscle, liver, intestine, heart and kidney) and in spleen sampled at 24 hour post challenge with LPS and control samples by real-time PCR. Six (lcal-miR-199a, lcal-miR-152, lcal-let-7a,b,c,d) of the sequencing validated miRNAs without positive results in all of the evaluated tissues were deleted from the data. Data were presented on a logarithmic scale. The relative expression of each gene shown in the figure was the average of triplicate real-time PCR reactions, normalized to lcal-miR-103 gene expression. Yellow shading indicated increased levels of expression, and gray shading represented decreased levels of expression relative to the center. Blue color denoted undetectable expression in tissues.
