miRNA expression profiles in YT and NK92 cells. Homo sapiens

The miRNA expression profiles of of EBV-infected YT and NK92 cells are compared. YT cells have weaker expression of T-bet and IFNg than NK92 cells. It was found that the EBV-encoded miR-BART20-5p inhibits the expression of T-bet and IFNg in YT cells. Overall design: Approximately 100 ng total RNAs from YT and NK92 cells were used as the input. The GeneChip miRNA 2.0 array from Affymetrix, including probes for 44 EBV-encoded miRNAs and 1105 human miRNAs, was used. The experiments were performed in the microarray core laboratory of National Health Research Institute, Taiwan.
