Figure 8. Knockdown of HULC down-regulated TRPM7 expression by serving as miR-204-5p sponge.

(A) Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between HULC expression and TRPM7 expression in serum of sepsis patients. (B,C) After HUVECs were transfected with si-NC, si-HULC, si-HULC + anti-miR-NC or si-HULC + anti-miR-204-5p, the mRNA and protein levels of TRPM7 were determined by qRT-PCR and western blot, respectively. *P<0.05.
