MiRNAs expression in HIV-transduced human podocytes (HIVHPs). HPs were infected with HIV-1 virus for 72 h. Real-time PCR analysis showed that HIV induced up regulation of miR-99a, miR-100a, miR-199a, miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-429 and miR-141; whereas rapamycin led to inverse expression of these miRNAs in HIV/HPs. U6 snRNA was used as an internal control. The relative expression level of specific miRNA was calculated using modified 2−ΔΔCt method.
