Exosomal miR-671 targets TGFBR2 and reduces Smad2 phosphorylation. a Protein levels of TGFBR2, Smad2 and the phosphorylation of Smad2 in each group of cardiomyocytes examined by western blot analysis; b Viability of cardiomyocytes after si-TGFBR2 transfection measured by the MTT assay; c Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes after si-TGFBR2 transfection examined by flow cytometry; d Protein levels of apoptosis-related factors (Bax and Bcl-2) and the fibrosis-related factor α-SMA in cardiomyocytes after si-TGFBR2 transfection determined by western blot analysis; e Production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in cardiomyocytes after si-TGFBR2 transfection determined using ELISA kits. Data were collected from three experiments and exhibited as mean ± SEM. Differences were analyzed by unpaired t test (b, c) or two-way ANOVA (a, d, and e); *p < 0.05 vs. Control group; #p < 0.05 vs. OGD group; &p < 0.05 vs. Exo-NC group; @p <0.05 vs. Exo-inhibitor + si-NC group.
