miR-380-3p and SOX6 expression in alpaca skin samples with different hair colors and in melanocytes. a RT-qPCR analysis of miR-380-3p expression in alpaca skin samples with different hair colors. b RT-qPCR analysis of SOX6 mRNA expression in alpaca skin samples with different hair colors. c Western blot analysis of SOX6 protein expression in alpaca skin samples with different hair colors. d Quantitative analysis of SOX6 protein expression in alpaca skin samples with different hair colors. e Localization of miR-380-3p in alpaca melanocytes in vitro by in situ hybridization analysis. miRNA, mRNA and protein expression levels were normalized to those of U6 mRNA, 18S rRNA and β-actin, respectively. The bars represent the mean ± standard error (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
