Figure 6. miR-25-5p upregulation correlates with PKCζ downregulation and AMPK activation in human osteonecrosis tissues.

Expressions of miR-25-5p A. and PKCζ mRNA B. in surgery-isolated femoral head tissues (both normal or “S” and necrotic or “N”) from GC-taking patients (n=9) were tested by qRT-PCR assay; Expression of listed protein was tested by Western blots (C, and PKCζ expression was quantified in D). *p<0.05 vs. “S” tissues.
