BMSCs combined with miR‐124a protect against kidney fibrosis. SD rats were divided into control group (Con), BMSCs group (B/Con, 3 × 106 BMSCs), diabetic model group (DN), mock (M/DN), miR‐124a mimics (m/DN) and miR‐124a inhibitors (i/DN). A, The mRNA expression levels of FN, TGF‐β, Col‐I and Col‐III. (*P < .05 or **P < .01 vs B/Con; ^P < .05 or ^^P < .01 vs DN; &P < .05 or &&P < .01 m/DN vs M/DN; #P < .05 or ##P < .01 i/DN vs M/DN). B, The protein expression levels of FN, TGF‐β, Col‐I and Col‐III were detected by Western blot assay
