Fig 3. Expression of Xenopus MicroRNAs in the developing somites. Expression patterns of Xenopus laevis miRNA are shown at stage 33/34 both in wholemounts and transverse sections from the trunk. All embryos are lateral views with anterior to the left. (A) miRs-14, 17-5p, 499, 18b, 363-3p, 30a-5p, 302 and 220c show expression in the head and trunk. Sections show expression in the somites, neural tube and notochord. miR-499 and 302 also shows expression in the surface ectoderm. (B) miRs 1a, 1b and 206 show expression only in the trunk which is confined to the somites in sections. (C) miR-184 shows expression in the head and trunk. sections show expression in the nural tube and somites but bot the notochord. (D) mir-15b shows expression in the head and trunk. Sections show expression in the somites and dorsal neural tube. (E) mir133 family shows differential expression. Mir-133a and d show expression in the head and trunk and in the somites, neural tube and notochord. miR-133b and c show expression in the trunk and sections show only expression in the somites. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0138313.g003 Image published in: Ahmed A et al.
