MicroRNA-30s modulate Cx43 expression in STZ-induced DN rats. Rats were divided into four groups: control, STZ, STZ + microRNA-30 family mimics, and STZ + microRNA-30 family inhibitors. (A) RT-qPCR analyses of microRNA-30s among the four groups. (B) IHC analyses of Cx43 protein expression among the four groups (×40). Representative images from 4 mice in each group are shown. (C) Quantitative analyses of the IOD of Cx43 are shown in the bar graph, and data are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three experiments. #, P<0.05 vs. the control group. *, P<0.05 vs. the STZ group. STZ, streptozotocin; DN, diabetic nephropathy; IHC, immunohistochemistry.
