Fig. 6From: Effect of 90Sr internal emitter on gene expression in mouse bloodMicroRNA upstream regulators of gene expression. a Heatmap of predicted activation states of microRNA, which may be upstream of gene expression changes observed in the study (shades of orange, positive z-scores; missing values in gray, missing values are shown where the regulator did not have any known relationship with the significantly changed genes at that time). b qPCR validation of selected miRNA species: mmu-miR-16 (⨂), mmu-miR-124 (□), mmu-miR-125 (♦) and mmu-miR-210 (●). Expression peaked at the day 4 time point as predicted from the mRNA data. The complete table with z-scores is in Additional file 6. Each point is the average of 4 samples per conditionBack to article page
