Promotion of VEGF inhibited the effects of miR-138 upregulation on LDH activity of uterine endothelial cells in a co-culture with THP-1 cells. (A) Western blot analysis, and quantified levels of (B) Bax and (C) VEGF protein expression. (D) Cell growth, (E) LDH activity, (F) DAPI assay, (G) caspase-3 levels and (H) caspase-9 levels. ##P<0.01 vs. control group; **P<0.01 vs. miR-138 group. miR, microRNA; Bax, B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; miR-138, overexpression group; miR-138+VEGF, overexpression of miR-138 and VEGF.
