The mRNA levels of ribonuclease type III (DROSHA), endoribonuclease Dicer (DICER), and monocyte chemotactic protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1) of IH-treated Caco-2 cells by real-time RT-PCR. IH significantly increased the mRNA levels of DROSHA and DICER, which are involved in the biosynthesis of miRNAs, and significantly decreased the mRNA level of MCPIP1, which is involved in the degradation of miRNAs, in Caco-2 cells. All data are expressed as the mean±SE for each group (n = 5–6). The statistical analyses were performed using Student’s t-test.
