Down-regulation of miR-19a-3p caused by glycine inhibited cell apoptosis, glucose metabolism disorder and inflammatory response.

Notes: (A) Down-regulation of miR-19a-3p enhanced cell activity when * was 96 h, P<0.05. (B) Down-regulation of miR-19a-3p reduced TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. (C) Down-regulation of miR-19a-3p up-regulated Glut1, HK2, LDHA, PDK1, PKM2. (D) Down-regulation of miR-19a-3p inhibited Caspase 3, Caspase 9, Bax and promoted Bcl2. (E) Western blot band of each protein. (F) Down-regulation of miR-19a-3p reduced the apoptosis rate. (G) Down-regulation of miR-19a-3p up-regulated AMPK, p-AMPK, GSK-3β, p- GSK-3β, Nrf2, Ho-1. *P<0.05, **P<0.01. The experiments were repeated for three times.
