description <p><strong>Objective </strong>To investigate the expression profile of microRNA (miRNA)-29a in mice neural cells.  <strong>Methods</strong> Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze miRNA-29a expression changes of neurons and astrocytes after 3, 7, 15, 21 d of primary culture in vitro, and cortex tissue of 3, 7, 15, 21 d old mice.  <strong>Results</strong> miRNA-29a expression increased in nervous system with the growth of mice. Compared with the 3th day, miRNA-29a relative expression on the 7th, 15th, 21th days in neurons, astrocytes and cortex tissue were obviously higher (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05 or <em>P</em> &lt; 0.01). At each time point, the relative expression levels of miRNA-29a in cultured astrocytes were 20-40 times higher than in cultured neurons (<em>P</em> = 0.000), and levels in cortex tissue were about 1/3 that seen in cultured astrocytes (<em>P</em> = 0.000).  <strong>Conclusions </strong> With the growth and development of brain cortex of mice, miRNA-29a is highly expressed in astrocytes, reflecting its abundant and specific expression.</p><p> </p><p><strong>DOI: </strong>10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2015.01.009</p>
