Upm2A indicates the sequence of the universal primer used for qPCR, while MQ-RT indicates the sequence of the universal reverse transcription primer. miRNA-primers included in this analysis were selected with respect to their expression in the liver (miR-122⁵⁵, miR-194⁵⁵ and miR-192⁵⁵), their function during infection, inflammation (miR-155⁵⁶), or regulation of HSCs function (miR-150⁴³), or their increased expression during liver regeneration (miR-33⁵⁷, miR-21⁵⁸). Whereas, other miRNAs and small non-coding RNAs included in the panel were selected for being ubiquitously expressed (RNU6⁵⁵ and Let-7a⁵⁵), for being enriched in brain (miR-143⁵⁵,⁵⁹) or for being either associated to hematopoiesis (miR-451⁶⁰) or hepatoblastoma (miR-125⁶¹).
