Altered gene expression in brown adipocyte differentiation. Let-7b mimic and miR-342-3p inhibitor significantly reduced mRNA levels of Cebpa (a), Cebpb (b), and Ppar-γ (c). Ppar-γ mRNA levels were increased by Let-7b inhibitor and miR 342-3p mimic, alterations similar to those seen in endometriosis. Each bar represents the mean ± SE for data from three individual experiments and each experiment was performed in triplicate. ** denotes statistical significance (p < 0.01) compared to the negative controls while * denotes p < 0.05
