MiRNA profiling in Rattus norvegicus pancreatic cells: RIN-5F cells during infection with Coxsackie B4 virus. Rattus norvegicus

This study aims at elucidating how Coxsackie B virus infection perturbs the host's miRNA regulatory pathways that may lead to different pathological events using the miRNA microarray approach. Overall design: The rat pancreatic cell line -RIN-5F, was infected with various preparations of Coxsackie B4 viruses was analysed for miRNA expression profiles subsequently. The miRNA expression profiles were measured at 48, and 72 hours post infection, respectively.
