Effect of miR508-3p on the expression of coat color genes in melanocytes. (a) tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TYRP2) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in melanocytes transfected with the miR508-3p expression plasmid. (b and c) TYR and TYRP2 protein expression in melanocytes transfected with the miR508-3P expression plasmid. Data were normalized to β-actin and expressed as relative fold change. Data are expressed as mean±SE from three replicates. *P<0.05; ***P<0.001. NC=negative control.
