Suppressing MicroRNA-30b by Estrogen Promotes Osteogenesis in Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Figure 5

Altered miRNA expression in the process of E2-induced osteogenic differentiation. (a) Heat-map representation of miRNAs differentially expressed in control and E2-treated rBMSCs. Red color indicates the miRNAs that were induced, and green color indicates miRNAs that were repressed. (b) Pathway analysis of the altered miRNAs. (c) E2 significantly increased the expression of let-7b and miR-25, while decreasing the expression of miR-30b. Three independent experiments were performed. (Control group vs. E2 group, .)
