miRNA profile of pancreatic islets from NOD mice. (A) A heatmap of miRNA expression in pancreatic islets from 3-, 8- and 18-week old NOD mice (n = 9). Red and green represent high and low microRNA expression; (B) miRNA216a, 29b, 375, and 7 expression by real-time quantitative RT-PCR in pancreatic islets from 3-, 8- and 18-week old NOD mice. All experiments were performed in triplicate.
