MEF2A is the target gene of miR-19a-3p. (A) The predicted binding site of miR-19a-3p in 3′-UTR of MEF2A mRNA. (B and C) Expressions of miR-19a-3p and MEF2A mRNA by RT-PCR, using U6 and GAPDH as the internal control, respectively. n = 8, p < 0.05 vs. sham-operation group, *p < 0.05 vs. model. (D) Detection of the interaction between miR-19a-3p and the 3′-UTR of MEF2A by dual-luciferase reporter assay. n = 8, △△p < 0.01 vs. NC. (E and F) MiR-19a-3p inhibited the protein expression of MEF2A after infection with miR-19a-3p mimic or miR-19a-3p inhibitor (anti- miR-19a-3p) as detected by WB analysis, using GAPDH as the internal control. n = 3, △△p < 0.01 vs. NC, **p < 0.01 vs. miR-19a-3p mimics.
