Effect of Huai Qi Huang (HQH) on the expression level of miRNA-200a in UUO rats and in transforming growth factor-β1- (TGF-β1-) treated NRK-52E cells. (a) The relative abundance of miR-200a in obstructed kidneys of UUO rats on day 14. ∗ p < 0.05 versus vehicle-treated UUO rats on day 14 after obstruction. Five rats in each dosage group. The bars show mean ± SEM. (b) The relative abundance of miR-200a in NRK-52E cells stimulated with TGF-β1 and HQH. ∗ p < 0.05 versus positive control group with the TGF-β1 group at the same time point.
