Figure 3. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in GMCs.
(A) IL-1β; (B) IL-6; (C) IL-8. L-GMCs, GMCs treated with 5.6 mmol/l glucose (normal control); H-GMCs, GMCs treated with 30 mmol/l glucose (high glucose); H-GMCs + mimics NC, H-GMCs transfected with miR-451 mimics negative control; H-GMCs + miR-451 mimics, H-GMCs transfected with miR-451 mimics; H-GMCs + PSMD11 + miR-451 mimics, H-GMCs transfected with pcDNA3.1-PSMD11 and miR-451 mimics. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001.
