miR-21-5p overexpression enhances AKT phosphorylation in AEC II from HALI lungs. pAKT and total AKT protein expression levels were measured by western blotting in the AEC II cells isolated from the lungs of experimental rats at the indicated times after HALI. (A) Representative blot images. (B) Quantification of the pAKT/AKT ratio. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n=6 rats per group). aP<0.05 vs. the same time point in the control group; bP<0.05 vs. the same time point in the HALI group. miR, microRNA; AEC II, type II alveolar epithelial cells; HALI, hyperoxic acute lung injury; p, phosphorylated.
