miR-139-5p overexpression reduces LPS-induced apoptosis by targeting ROCK1 in NHBEs. (A) Proportion of apoptotic cells among transfected NHBEs was determined using flow cytometry. (B) Expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3 in the treated NHBEs were determined using western blotting (left, representative blots; right, densitometry analysis). Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. ***P<0.001 vs. control; ###P<0.001 vs. miR-NC; ΔP<0.01 and ΔΔΔP<0.001 vs. miR-139-5p mimics + Vector. NHBEs, normal human bronchial epithelial cells; ROCK1, Rho-associated kinase 1; miR, microRNA; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; NC, negative control; Ov, overexpression.
