Distinct expression of muscle‐specific MicroRNAs (myomirs) in brown adipocytes

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNAs, a novel class of post-transcriptional gene regulators, have been demonstrated to be involved in several cellular processes regulating the expression of protein-coding genes. Here we examine murine white and brown primary cell cultures for differential expression of miRNAs. The adipogenesis-related miRNA miR-143 was highly expressed in mature white adipocytes but was low in mature brown adipocytes....
