Bmp4 and Shha are downregulated in the gut of miR-145 overexpressing embryos. Overexpression of miR-145 using a miR-145 mimic leads to decreased bmp4 as seen in whole-mount (A, B) and longitudinal section (E, F), and to decreased expression of shha as seen whole-mount (C, D) and in cross section (G, H). (I) Quantification of expression changes in miR-145 mimic shows strong down-regulation of bmp4 and shha but not ihha levels in miR-145 mimic injected embryos. Significance was determined by a Student′s t-test (p<0.01). The scale bar for A–D is shown in panel D, and the scale bar for E–H is in panel H.
