Expression of 17 filtered miRNAs in different cell populations. The heat map visualizes the levels of IFN-beta-responsive miRNAs in 19 blood cell populations and four brain tissues. The data were downloaded from the smirnaDB database [64], which did not contain three of the 20 filtered miRNAs (hsa-miR-27a-5p, hsa-miR-29b-1-5p and hsa-miR-181c-3p). hsa-let-7a-5p and hsa-miR-16-5p are highly expressed in peripheral blood and brain. hsa-let-7b-5p and hsa-miR-149-5p are preferentially expressed in brain tissues. Several of the miRNAs (e.g., hsa-miR-346) were not detected in certain cell types [65].
