miR-181b-5p takes a part in the effects of cMTO1 on HSC activation. Primary 1-day-old HSCs were transduced with Ad-cMTO1 or Ad-cMTO1-Mut for 48 h and transfected with miR-181b-5p mimics for additional 48 h. (A) miR-181b-5p level in CCl4 mice. (B) miR-181b-5p level in primary HSCs. (C) Reduced cell proliferation by cMTO1 over-expression was restored by miR-181b-5p. (D,E) cMTO1-suppressed α-SMA and Col1A1 were blocked down by miR-181b-5p. *P < 0.05 compared to the control. Each value is the mean ± SD of three experiments.
