HO-1 is a direct target of miR-218-5p. The conserved binding sites between miR-218-5p and HO-1 were predicted using online software TargetScan and miRDB (a), and the luciferase activity assay was performed to validate HO-1 as a direct target of miR-218-5p (b). After transfection with miR-218-5p mimics into GMCs, the mRNA (c) and protein (d) expression levels of HO-1 were measured by RT-qPCR and western blotting, respectively. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 3 in each group. * P < 0.05 versus control group
