Based on the intensities of β-actin, Dicer and TARBP2 bands in CO- and PH-Fibs ( Figure 2 B) and calculated ratios of Dicer/β-actin and TARBP2/β-actin in both CO- and PH Fibs, we found Dicer and TARBP2 protein levels were not reduced in human PH-Fibs (Dicer showed a trend of increase, which was not statistically significant, p = 0.058) ( Figure 2 C).
