The miR-15 family regulates the expression of Bcl-w in MSC. Panel A. TargetScan shows that 3’ UTR of Bcl-w contains conserved miR-15 family binding sites. Panel B. The expression of miR-195 in the cells of 293TN transfected with miR-195 and miR-NC. Panel B: Relative luciferase activity of Bcl-w in 293TN cells after transfection with miR-195 and miR-NC, respectively. Panels D and E: Bcl-w protein in MSCGATA-4 and MSCNull, as measured by semi-quantitative western blot in normal (D) and hypoxic (E) conditions for 72 hours. Panel F: Bcl-w protein expression in MSCGATA-4 transfected with miR-195 or miR-NC.
