Figure 6. — Effect of miR-18a-5p on the expression of collagen I, TGF-β, α-SMA, vimentin, and E-cadherin. A total of 48 h after transfection with miR-18a-5p mimics or the miR-18a-5p-inhibitor group, (A) the protein level of collagen I, TGF-β, α-SMA, vimentin, E-cadherin expression levels was assessed using a western blot assay, and (B-F) the mRNA level of collagen I, TGF-β, α-SMA, vimentin and E-cadherin was detected using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. **P<0.01 vs. the control. α-SMA, α-smooth muscle actin, miR-18a-5p, microRNA-15a-5p; NC, negative control; TGF-β, transforming growth factor-β.
