Overexpression of miR-29a alleviated mitochondrial proteostasis stress. (A) Misfolded protein aggregation in live tissue was stained by thioflavin T (ThT). White open inserts in the upper panel are enlarged in the lower panel. Scale bar, 100 μm. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of ThT was determined using Image J. N = 6–8 in each group. a.u., arbitrary unit. (B) Representative blots and densitometric results of p-PERK, IRE1α and XBP1s, indicators of unfolded protein response of the endoplasmic reticulum (UPRER). N = 6 in each group. (C) Representative blots and densitometric results of CHOP, LONP1, and HSP60, indicators of unfolded protein response of the mitochondria (UPRmt). N = 6 in each group. Data are expressed as mean ± SE. * p < 0.05 between indicated groups. MCD, methionine/choline-deficient; MCS, methionine/choline-sufficient.
