Fig. 6

The protein expression of MITF, TYR, TYRP1 and TYRP2 in alpaca melanocytes. a–d represent the protein expression of MITF, TYR, TYRP1, and TYRP2, respectively. The control group represents the alpaca melanocytes normal cultured melanocytes. miRNA mimic group represents melanocytes transfected with miRNA mimic. The black column represents the alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-101a-3p & miR-144a-3p (1:1) mimic, the light gray column represents the alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-144a-3p mimic, and the dark gray column represents the alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-101a-3p mimic. miRNA inhibitor group represents melanocytes transfected with miRNA inhibitor. The black column represents the alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-101a-3p & miR-144a-3p (1:1) inhibitor, the light gray column represents the alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-144a-3p inhibitor, and the dark gray represented alpaca melanocytes transfected with miR-101a-3p inhibitor (* means P < 0.05, ** means P < 0.01, *** means P < 0.001)
