Fig. 5From: Mice lacking microRNAs in Pax8-expressing cells develop hypothyroidism and end-stage renal failureDecreased expression of kidney specific miRNAs. Using qPCR the expression of several miRNAs was analysed. In line with a key role of Dgcr8 in miRNA processing, the kidney epithelial cell enriched miRNAs miR-192, miR-200b and miR-204 are strongly downregulated. SnoRNA-135 served as endogenous control (n = 4 per group, error bars = SEM, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, age of the mice 4–8 weeks)Back to article page
