Expression of miR-143 and miR-145 in the eye as revealed by qRT-PCR and LacZ staining. LacZ plus eosin counter-staining was performed in ~2-month old transgenic mice in which LacZ is driven by a 5 kb miR-143/145 enhancer. (A) Relative expression of miR-143 in HTM cells compared to HUVEC and HASMC cells. **p < 0.01; (B) Relative expression of miR-145 in HTM cells compared to HUVEC and HASMC cells. ***p < 0.001; (C) Relative expression of miR-143/145 in HTM cells compared to HCEC and ARPE-19 cells. ***p < 0.001; (D) LacZ staining was observed in smooth muscle (a), pericytes (b), ciliary muscle (c), extraocular muscle (d,e), but not in the corneal epithelial layer (f) in the eye.
