a Transfection efficiency of miR-33a mimic in Huh7 and Hep-G2 cells measured by qPCR. b, c Triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in Huh7 and Hep-G2 cells increased in the miR-33a mimic groups when measured by the glycerol lipase oxidase (GPO-PAP) method. d Triglyceride levels in Hep-G2 cells were measured by Oil red O staining. e Protein levels of a few known miR-33a target genes in Huh7 and Hep-G2 cells analyzed by western blotting. Data represent the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, NS, not significant. The experiments were independently repeated at least three times.
