MicroRNA Stability in Postmortem FFPE Tissues: Quantitative Analysis Using Autoptic Samples from Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients
Fig 2
Integrity analysis of smRNAs in autoptic tissues.
Representative electropherograms of frozen tissues (A–C) and FFPE tissues (E–G). Green solid lines indicate the area (10–40 nt) containing miRNA peaks, and green dashed lines indicate the area containing smRNA peaks (0–200 nt). The ratio of smRNAs to miRNAs was evaluated using 11 frozen samples (D), and 17 FFPE samples (H). PMI, postmortem interval; RT, room temperature; FF, formalin-fixed period.
