Abstract

BackgroundThe impact of miRNA differential expression on the auditory epithelium stem cell development in postnatal rats is not clear. The present study was designed to analyze miRNA expression in the organ of Corti of neonatal and adult rats.MethodsThe cochleae of newborn (P0) and adult (P30) Sprague-Dawley rats were dissected in cold PBS to collect the sensory epithelia. Small RNAs were extracted using the mirVana RNA Isolation kit. Then, miRNA expression profiling was performed with RNAs from three newborns and three adult rats utilizing the TaqMan Array Rodent MicroRNA Panel.ResultsEighteen miRNAs were found be differentially expressed, 16 were unregulated in mature cochleae with the fold changes ranging from 17 to 600 folds. The expression levels of two miRNAs were reduced in the mature rat cochleae. GO analysis and signaling pathway analysis revealed the potential involvement of the miRNAs in the regulation of Wnt and TGF-ß signaling pathways in hair cell development.ConclusionsOur results provided novel insights into the functional significance of miRNAs in the basilar membrane cells development, and revealed the potential importance of miRNAs in the hair cell by regulation of Wnt and TGF-ß signaling.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 September 2014.
All research outputs
#4,835,157
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Medical Research
#139
of 923 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#46,742
of 250,094 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Medical Research
#1
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 923 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 250,094 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
