Expression level of miR-1468 in pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle. (A) The expression level of miR-1468 in pituitary cells transfected with the mimics (miR-1468-mi group) and mimics reference substance (NC group) of miR-1468. Compared with NC group, the column marked by ** showed significant difference (P<0.01); (B) The expression level of miR-1468 in pituitary cells transfected with the inhibitor (miR-1468-in group) and inhibitor reference substance (iNC group) of miR-1468. U6 was used as an internal reference.

Effect of miR-1468 on GH mRNA transcription level in pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle. (A) The relative transcription level of GH mRNA in pituitary cells transfected with miR-1468 minics. Mimics (miR-1468-mi group) and mimics reference substance (NC group) of miR-1468 were transfected into pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle, with three replicates in each group. Compared with NC group, the column marking** showed extremely significant difference (P<0.01); (B) The relative transcription level of GH mRNA in pituitary cells transfected with miR-1468 inhibitor. Inhibitor (miR-1468-in group) and inhibitor reference substance (iNC group) of miR-1468 were transfected into pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle, with three replicates in each group. Compared with iNC group, the column marking* showed significant difference (P<0.05). β-actin was used as an internal reference.

Luciferase activity determination. (A) The changes of luciferase activity after PirGLO- CREB1-3’UTR normal plasmid co-transfecting with miR-1468 mimics (miR-1468-mi group) and mimics reference substance (NC group) for 48 h. Compared with NC group, the column marking** showed extremely significant difference (P<0.01); (B) The changes of luciferase activity after PirGLO-CREB1-3’UTR mutant plasmid plasmid co-transfecting with miR-1468 mimics (miR-1468-mi group) and mimics reference substance (NC group) for 48 h. Compared with NC group, the column without marking**or* showed no significant difference (P>0.05).

Effect of miR-1468 on transcription level of CREB1 mRNA in pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle. (A) The relative transcription level of CREB1 mRNA in pituitary cells transfected with miR-1468 minics. Mimics (miR-1468-mi group) and mimics reference substance (NC group) of miR-1468 were transfected into pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle, with three replicates in each group.

Inhibitor (miR-1468-in group) and inhibitor reference substance (iNC group) of miR-1468 were transfected into pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle, with three replicates in each group. Compared with iNC group, the column marking** showed extremely significant difference (P<0.01). β-actin was used as an internal reference.

Effect of miR-1468 on CREB1 protein expression level in pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle. (A) The relative expression level of CREB1 protein in pituitary cells transfected with miR-1468 minics. Mimics (miR-1468-mi group) and mimics reference substance (NC group) of miR-1468 were transfected into pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle, with three replicates in each group. Compared with NC group, the column marking** showed extremely significant difference (P<0.01); (B) The relative expression level of CREB1 protein in pituitary cells transfected with miR-1468 inhibitor. Inhibitor (miR-1468-in group) and inhibitor reference substance (iNC group) of miR-1468 were transfected into pituitary cells of Yanbian yellow cattle, with three replicates in each group. Compared with iNC group, the column marking* showed significant difference (P<0.05). β-actin was used as an internal reference. Electrophoresis of the CREB1 and β-actin gene fragment was from two separate gels.
