MiR-199a-5p exacerbated Ang II-induced apoptosis in H9C2 cells. (A) Evaluation of transfection efficiency in H9C2 cells transfected with fluorescently labeled miR-199a-5p mimics. Transfected cells stained red. (B) Evaluation of miR-199a-5p expression in H9C2 cells transfected with (NC) miR-199a-5p mimics and a miR-199a-5p inhibitor by RT-qPCR. **P < 0.01 vs. NC. (C) Involvement of miR-199a-5p in Ang II-induced apoptosis in H9C2 cells. Flow cytometry was used to identify apoptotic cells (red) stained with anti-annexin V and propidium iodide. The lower panel shows the summary and statistical analysis of three independent analyses of the upper panel. **P < 0.01 vs. NC. ##P < 0.01 vs. Ang II group. (D) A caspase-3 activity assay was used to evaluate cell apoptosis among the different groups. **P < 0.01 vs. NC. ##P < 0.01 vs. Ang II group.
