CXCL12 overexpression reverses the inhibitory effect of miR-23 on inflammatory cytokine expression. (A) Transfection efficiency of siCXCL12. ELISAs were performed to assess the effects of CXCL12 knockdown on the secretory levels of (B) TNF-α, (C) IL-1β and (D) IL-8. (E) Transfection efficiency of pcDNA3.1-CXCL12. (F) The effects of miR-23 and CXCL12 co-overexpression on CXCL12 expression. ELISAs were performed to assess the effects of miR-23 and CXCL12 co-overexpression on the secretory levels of (G) TNF-α, (H) IL-1β and (I) IL-8. *P<0.05. CXCL12, chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 12; miR, microRNA; si, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control.
