Overexpression of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) and serotonin transporter (SERT) partially rescued the inhibitory effects of microR-NA-200a (miR-200a) on diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome rat colonic epithelial cells (CECs). (A) Western blots showed that the expression of CNR1/SERT was significantly upregulated in CECs transfected with pcDNA3.1-CNR1/SERT but significantly downregulated in CECs transfected with miR-200a. In addition, a significant increase in CNR1/SERT was detected in CECs transfected with pcDNA3.1-CNR1/ SERT alone compared to CECs co-transfected with pcDNA3.1-CNR1/SERT and miR-200a. (B) Quantitative RT-PCR shows similar results to western blot (P < 0.05, ANOVA and least significant difference).
