Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of PM-sEVs on noncoding RNA expression in IPEC-J2 cell and piglet intestine. ( A ) The potential interaction among pIgR, miRNAs, and PM-sEVs circRNAs. ( B ) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-221-5p, miR-133a-3p, miR-383, and miR-370 expression levels in IPEC-J2 cell ( n = 6). ( C ) qRT-PCR analysis of circ-XPO4, circ-SUGCT, and circ-CTT3 expression levels in IPEC-J2 cell ( n = 6). ( D ) PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis identify PCR product size of circ-XPO4, “→←” represent convergent primers, “←→” represent divergent primers. ( E ) Sanger sequencing confirm the splice junctions of circ-XPO4, the arrow points to the splice junctions. ( F ) PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis analysis the abundance of circ-XPO4 and linear mRNA (β-actin) treated with RNase R. ( G , H ) qRT-PCR analysis of circ-XPO4 and miR-221-5p expression levels in intestinal tissue of piglet ( n = 6). NS, represent non-significant ( p > 0.05); * p < 0.05. All data are presented as means ± SEM.
