Enhancement of miR-26a expression attenuates EMT in vitro and in vivo. (a) miR-26a suppresses the TGF-β1-induced increase in collagen content in A549 cells. Western blot (b) and immunofluorescence (c) assays found that miR-26a suppresses TGF-β1-induced EMT in A549 cells. (d) Administration of agomiR-26a attenuates collagen content in bleomycin-treated mice, whereas agomiR-NC has no effect. Western blot (e) and immunofluorescence (f) assays shows that agomiR-26a attenuates EMT in the lungs of mice with pulmonary fibrosis. E-cadherin is stained in green, Vimentin is in red and the nuclei are in blue (magnification, 200 × ). n=4; *P<0.05 versus control, #P<0.05 versus TGF-β1; **P<0.01 versus saline, ##P<0.01 versus BLM
