Expression of miRNA biosynthesis genes and mature miRNAs in undifferentiated NTera2 and 2102Ep EC cells. The relative expression levels of miRNA biosynthesis genes Drosha, Dicer and eIF6 in undifferentiated 2102Ep and NTera2 EC cells is shown. In each case, data represents expression in 2102Ep cells compared to NTera2. While the expression of eIF6 is almost identical, that of Dicer was downregulated slightly (4.3 fold) and of Drosha was substantially lower (74.5 fold) in undifferentiated 2102Ep EC cells compared to undifferentiated NTera2 EC cells.
