Article Title: HTLV-1 Tax Mediated Downregulation of miRNAs Associated with Chromatin Remodeling Factors in T Cells with Stably Integrated Viral Promoter
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0034490
Figure Lengend Snippet: A miRNA microarray cluster was used to demonstrate the ability of HTLV-1 Tax to globally downregulate the expression of cellular miRNAs. The two lanes represent the Cy5/Cy3 ratio in dye flip. The miRNAs isolated from the stably integrated pooled Jurkat clone transfected with Tax were labeled with Cy5 whereas those isolated from the same integrated clone but transfected with control plasmid (pCMV4) were labeled with Cy3. The table shows the high probability miRNAs against P/CAF and p300 that have been downregulated in the presence of HTLV-1 Tax.
Article Snippet: The purified tagged miRNA was hybridized to an NCode Human miRNA Microarray V3 (Invitrogen), which is an epoxy-coated glass slide printed with miRNA probes targeting all of the known human miRNAs in the miRBase Sequence database, release 10.0, in an antisense orientation.
