BMPR2 is a potential direct target of miR-376b. a, Heatmap showed relative level of miRNAs following PDGF-BB treatment for different time; b, BMPR2 protein level was detected in RPASMCs transfected with miRNA mimics via Western Blot; c, The two conserved miR-376b binding sites in the 3′-UTR of BMPR2 along with the mutation sites, respectively; d, 3′-UTR luciferase reporter assay with target sites and their mutant along with miR-376b/miR-Con mimics. Bar charts of luciferase reporter analysis represent means ± SD (n = 3), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs miR-Con/3′UTR of targets
