Fig 3. Role of miRNA-181a on the expression of ALR and fibrogenic markers.
A. LX2 cells were transfected with miRNA-181a mimics as described in materials and methods. The expression of ALR, α-SMA, rac1, COLL1A1 and β-actin were determined using Western blots. A representative picture from 3 experiments is shown. B. The bands from the Western blot experiments were quantitated using Image J software and the data are presented as relative expression (p<0.05, compared to control).
