Determination of expression of CTGF in FTC-133 cells transfected with miR-199a mimics, inhibitor, or CTGF siRNA. (A) The mRNA (lower panel) and protein (upper panel) expression of CTGF were inhibited by transfection of miR-199a-5p mimics in a stepwise manner, with inhibitory effect of miR-199a-5p mimics 100nM similar to that of CTGF siRNA 100 nM. (B) The mRNA (lower panel) and protein (upper panel) expression of CTGF were increased by introduction of miR-199a-5p inhibitors when compared to the negative controls in a stepwise manner (** P<0.01).
