Figure 6. Decreasing the miR-27a level in vivo attenuated the abnormal EC proliferation.

Figure 6

Perivascular multi-point injection of antagomiR-27a around the left CCA of rats with abdominal aortic coarctation was performed as described, and the right CCA was injected with antagomiR NC locally as a control. Both sides of the CCA were isolated 1 week after surgery for the measurements. (a) The level of miR-27a in the left and right CCA was detected by qPCR. (b) The expression of GRK6 in ECs from the left and right CCA was detected by immunofluorescence. Scale bar = 20 μm. (c) The proliferation of ECs from the left and right CCA was detected by in situ BrdU immunofluorescence. The histogram shows the fold change in the level of EC proliferation relative to the control. Scale bar = 20 μm. The values of control groups were standardized to 1. The values are shown as the mean ± SD for each condition from at least four independent experiments. *P < 0.05 vs. control.
