MiR-378a-5p inhibitor (anti-miR-378a-5p) significantly reduces ethanol-induced apoptosis in rat primary cardiomyocytes. The cells were treated with ethanol (0.5%) in addition with or without anti-miR-378a-5p for 4 days. a, b Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and flow cytometry was employed to detect the apoptosis. Data were presented as mean ± S.D. **p < 0.01 compared to ethanol-treated group
