Figure 2. — Role of miR-23a in anoxia-induced downregulation of the contractile phenotype marker proteins in PASMCs. (A) Detecting the expression of the SM-MHC, SM-α-actin, calponin-1 and SM22α proteins with western blot analysis. Compared to the control group, *P<0.05. (B) Detecting the expression of the SM-MHC, SM-α-actin, calponin-1 and SM22α proteins with western blot analysis with β-actin as the internal reference protein. Based on a comparison with the control group, *P<0.05. (C) Detecting the proliferative activity of PASMCs transfected with miR-23a inhibitor under anoxia by means of EdU staining. (D) Detecting the proliferative activity of PASMCs transfected with miR-23a mimic under normoxia by means of EdU staining. PASMCs, pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.
