Figure 2. — miR-129-5p inhibits SMC proliferation and induces apoptosis. (A) The expression level of miR-129-5p was tested in SMCs transfected with LV-miRNA-129-5p (miR-129-5p) and control (miR-control) by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction at 48 h after transfection. (B) The effect of transient transfection with miR-129-5p for 48 h on the growth of the SMCs was examined by MTT assay. (C) Flow cytometric analysis indicated that transfection with miR-129-5p induced apoptosis of the SMCs. Data are represented as the mean ± standard deviation. **P<0.01 vs. miR-control. miRNA/miR, microRNA; SMC, smooth muscle cell; LV, lentivirus; PI, propidium iodide; MTT, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide.
