Fig. 7. Cross-talk between Bicc1 and the miR-17 miRNA family. (A) Alignment of the Xenopus miR-17 family members. Mature forms are highlighted in yellow. The sequence targeted by the miR-17 antisense MO (miR-17-MO) is indicated by the black line. The nucleotides shared between miR-17-MO and the individual members are indicated in red. (B-B′) Analysis of the expression of nbc-1 by whole-mount in situ hybridization of uninjected control embryos, embryos injected with xBicC-MO1+2 alone or with miR-17-MO. Arrowheads indicate the expression of nbc-1 in the Xenopus late distal tubule. Note that this expression domain is rescued upon co-injection of the two antisense MOs. (C) Quantification of the experiments shown in B-B′. Black, bilateral expression; white, reduced or no expression; gray, unilateral, rescued expression in the late distal tubule. (D,D′) Models for the post-transcriptional regulation of Pkd2 mRNA by the miR-17 family in the absence or presence of Bicc1. Image published in: Tran U et al. (2010) Copyright © 2010.
