Overexpression of miR-199a/214 and miR-23b/27b reduce the kidney field size. (ai) Pax8 expression in S21 (stage 21) embryos injected with LNA mimics. (a,b,f and g) Injected with LNA control. (a,f) Uninjected side (ctrl). (b,g) Injected side with LNA control. (c,d) Embryo injected with LNA miR-199a + miR214. Uninjected (c) and injected (d) sides of the same embryo. (h,i) Embryos injected with LNA miR-27b + miR23b. Uninjected (h) and injected (i) sides of the same embryo. (e) Percentage of embryos with abnormal pax8 expression field. Uninjected (N = 3, 63); LNA ctrl. (N = 3, 64); LNA miR-199a + miR-214 (N = 3, 76, 49% reduced or absent expression) (N = number of experiments, number of embryos, % of affected embryos). (j) Percentage of embryos with abnormal pax8 expression field. Uninjected (N = 3, 66); LNA ctrl. (N = 3, 65); LNA miR-27b + miR-23b (N = 3, 59, 64% reduced or absent expression). Reduced (RE), absent (AE) or not affected (NA) field of expression. Data in graphs is presented as means. ****p < 0.0001, **p < 0.01 Fisher’s exact test.
