Expressions of inflammatory cytokines in NC(+), NEAT1(+), NC(−), and NEAT1(−) groups. RT-qPCR assay disclosed that expressions of IL1B miRNA (a), IL6 miRNA (b) and TNFA mRNA (c) were all elevated in the NEAT1(+) group but decreased in the NEAT1(−) group compared with the corresponding NC groups during I/R injury. (d, e) Western blot assay revealed that expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were all higher in the NEAT1(+) group but lower in the NEAT1(−) group compared with the corresponding groups during I/R injury. Results are shown as means ± standard deviations. Comparison between groups was determined by t-test. P < 0.05 was considered significant; ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05. NEAT1, nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1; NC(+), control overexpression plasmid, NEAT1(+), lnc-NEAT1 overexpression plasmid, NC(−), control short hairpin (sh)RNA plasmid, and NEAT1(−), lnc-NEAT1 shRNA plasmid; I/R, ischemia/reperfusion; RT-qPCR, quantitative polymerase chain reaction; IL-1β, interleukin-1β; IL-6, interleukin-6; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α.
