A total of 48 IDC samples consisting of 8 biological replicates from each of the biological groups were taken for both array analyses (Grade 2 and 3 (24 from each grade) consisting of 8 samples each from stages I, II III of every grade) and were used for normalizing with pooled 10 adjacent normal samples. TLDA (ver2.0), which contains 667 human miRNAs covering Sanger miRBase (ver10.0), was performed as per the manufacturer’s protocols. The experiments were repeated with LNA arrays (ver11.0) containing 1372 miRNAs from hmr-miRBase 14.0 + miRPlus from Exiqon, Denmark, following the manufacturer’s instruction manual. Rodent array (Applied Biosystems version v 3.0) consisting of 641 mouse and 373 rat unique miRNAs along with appropriate controls were carried out in 5 biological replicates of Brca2/p53 double knock out mammary models along with 6 wild type controls to find out the common miRNAs between human and rodent systems.
