Role of bta-miR-223 in modulating cell death responses to S. aureus in MAC-T cells. Impact of bta-miR-223 knockdown on PI (A) and YO-PRO-1 (B). Fluorescence intensity in MAC-T cells after S. aureus infection. Protective effects of bta-miR-223 overexpression on PI (C) and YO-PRO-1 (D) fluorescence intensity in MAC-T cells exposed to S. aureus. CKD represents control knockdown, KD represents bta-miR-223 knockdown, COE represents control overexpression, and OE represents bta-miR-223 overexpression. Statistical significance is denoted as follows: * corresponds to BH-Padj. < 0.05, ** corresponds to BH-Padj. < 0.01, when compared to the respective control groups
