Figure 4. MicroRNA expression profile of epiphyseal and diaphyseal cells.

Figure 4

CT values of each miR was normalized to MammU6 (dCT) and plotted as an XY scattered chart displaying the correlation of miR expression by epiphyseal and diaphyseal cells. An unpaired t-test revealed 7 miRs with significant differences in expression: miR-146a-5p, miR-301b and miR-138 displayed higher expression in epiphyseal cells while miR-143, miR-146a, miR-34a and miR-145 displayed higher expression levels in diaphyseal cells (A). A heat map of normalized CT values was generated to show the difference in miR expression between epiphyseal and diaphyseal cell populations (B). The Heat map represents z-transformed expression, blue represents higher level of expression and red represents lower level of expression.
