Figure 5

Effect of miR-223 on the expression of α-SMA (ACTA2), type I collagen (COL1A2), and type III collagen (COL3A1). A. ASMCs were transfected with 50 nM miR-223 mimic, miR-223 inhibitor, and negative controls. At 48 h post-transfection, western blots were used to detect the protein expression levels of α-SMA, type I collagen, and type III collagen. GAPDH was used as a loading control. B. Data were normalized to GAPDH expression and are presented as expression relative to untreated cellular controls. Data are means ± SD from three experiments (**P < 0.01; *P < 0.05).
