miRNA profiling in human SMCs. Heat map showing significant (p < 0.01) changes in miRNA expression in human SMCs following FcεRI crosslinking. RNA was extracted from SMCs that were sensitized with chimeric human anti-NP IgE (1 μg/ml) and activated for 3 h at 37°C with the multivalent antigen NP-HSA (1 ng/ml). The heat map identifies 10 miRNAs that were significantly (p < 0.01) upregulated (red) and 11 that were significantly downregulated (green) in Ag/IgE-activated SMCs (n = 3 different cultures from different donors). All data can be found in the Supplementary Material.
