Figure 2

Expression patterns of miR-281 in DENV-2-infected (DENV+) and uninfected (DENV−) female mosquitoes or midguts at 1, 4, and 7 dpi. Northern blot analysis showing the expression patterns of miR-281 in response to DENV-2 at 1, 4 and 7 dpi in both mosquitoes (A) and midguts (B). RT-qPCR analysis of the relative expression of miR-281 in response to DENV-2 at 1, 4 and 7 dpi in mosquitoes (C) and midguts (D). The relative expression of miR-281 was calculated normalized to 5S rRNA. The RT-qPCR data were analyzed using the 2-Δct method. Data shown represent three independent experiments with three triplicates each. P values were calculated using t tests.
