Figure 8. Insulin, miR-375 and pri-miR-375 expression in sorted β-cells.

Figure 8

Pancreatic islets were isolated from 7 RIP-Cre Dicer1Δ/Δ and 7 littermate control mice. β-cells were sorted using flow cytometry to >98% purity. Total RNA was extracted and used for qPCR and array hybridization. A. Insulin mRNA expression level is reduced in RIP-Cre Dicer1Δ/Δ, B. Mature miR-375 is significantly reduced while the pri-miR-375 species accumulates in the knockout. ***P<0.001.
