Figure 2: AgNP aerosol exposure alters rat lung miRNA expression.

Figure 2:

Sprague Dawley rats (n=5–6 per group) were exposed to control gas (Air) or AgNP Aerosol (4.9 ng/cm2) (NP). Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed and lung tissue was removed for miRNA expression analysis by RNA-SEQ, 1 and 7 days post exposure. PCA analysis (A) and hierarchical clustering (B) were used to visualise patterns of differentially expressed miRNAs. Details of AgNP induced fold expression changes for miRNAs are also displayed (C).
