Abstract:A previous study using miRNA sequencing revealed that exposure to a mixture of phthalates during pregnancy and lactation dysregulated rno‐miR‐184 and rno‐miR‐141‐3p in the ventral prostate (VP) of offspring. Here, rno‐miR‐184 and rno‐miR‐141‐3 expressions were obtained by RT‐qPCR in the VP of F1 males as well as in F2 offspring, aiming to establish a relationship with possible oncogenic targets through in silico analyses with multigenerational approach. Additionally, some targets were measured by western blots… Show more
