Fig. 8

The relative production of melanin in melanocyte. The control group represents normal cultured melanocytes. The black column represents the melanocytes transfected with miR-101a-3p & miR-144a-3p (1:1) mimic group. The light gray column represents the melanocytes transfected with miR-144a-3p mimic group. The dark gray column represents the melanocytes transfected with miR-101a-3p mimic group. miRNA inhibitor group represents melanocytes transfected with miRNA inhibitor. The black column represents the alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-101a-3p & miR-144a-3p (1:1) inhibitor, the light gray column represents the alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-144a-3p inhibitor, and the dark gray represents the alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-101a-3p inhibitor (* means P < 0.05, ** means P < 0.01, *** means P < 0.001)
