Than 14 mmolL, were randomly divided into two group (Model; n = six and JTXKtreated; n = 6); and as a standard control group, C57BL6J mice (n = 6) have been given a standard diet. JTXKtreated mice had been offered 1.75gkg JTXK granule by gavage for 10 weeks each morning and evening, respectively. The typical manage and diabetic groups (model) received the exact same quantity of saline. Just after ten weeks of administration, all mice have been sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and the pancreas were taken out for the consecutive experiments. All of the protocols have been authorized by the Animal Care Committee of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, China.formaldehyde fixative, then embded in paraffin. Dulcimer and eosin (HE) staining was performed using sections of 4 thickness according to traditional methods. Lastly, the morphological alterations in islet tissue section was observed utilizing an optical microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).Microarray ExperimentTotal RNA was isolated using TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen) and purified applying the RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN) in accordance with the directions. RNA quantity and good quality was determined by utilizing nanodrop spectrophotometer (ND1000, Nanodrop Technologies) and RNA Integrity was measured by gel electrophoresis. Total miRNAs have been labeled and hybridized in accordance with the manufacturer’s (Exiqon) manual. Then the slides were scanned making use of the Axon GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA). Scanned images were then imported into GenePix Pro 6.0 computer software (Axon) for grid alignment and information extraction. Immediately after median normalization, considerable differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) between two groups were identified through Fold transform and Pvalue. Lastly, hierarchical clustering and volcano plot figures was completed to show distinguishable miRNA expression profile involving the two groups.Pancreas Histomorphology EvaluationPancreas tissue was obtained from 22weekold C57BL6J and KKAy mice, and very first fixed in ten neutral PBSFrontiers in Pharmacology www.frontiersin.orgNovember 2017 Volume eight ArticleMo et al.JTXK Granule Regulating Pancreatic miRNAsTABLE 2 Upregulated miRNAs among diabetic and JTXKtreated mice pancreas tissue samples.
