Figure 3. MiR-130a inhibition decreased EPC proliferation, migration and colony formation, but increased EPC apoptosis.

Figure 3

Cells were transfected with a miR-130a inhibitor (anti-miR-130a) or a negative control (blank) (A) Gene expression of miR-130 by real-time PCR (normalized to U6). (B to F) Functional assays of EPCs: proliferation (B), migration (C), colony formation (D), and apoptosis (E, F) of EPCs. *P<0.05 vs. respective scrambled control (blank) groups. #P<0.05 vs. healthy control group. CFU: colony-forming units. Similar results were obtained in at least three separate experiments and error bars represent the standard deviation from the mean.
