Total RNA was extracted using miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and assessed using Nano-Drop 2000 (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA). Microarray expression experiments were performed on 4 × 44 K Whole Human Genome Microarray (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Images of the arrays were acquired with a microarray scanner G2505B (Agilent Technologies), and image analysis was performed using feature extraction software version 9.5 (Agilent Technologies). The data (accession number GSE34303) were submitted to Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). For more details, see [20 (link)].
