LncRNA-ATB regulates the COM-induced EMT via miR-200a. a–c The mRNA a or protein b levels of EMT markers in respective HK-2 cell lines exposed to COM and cotransfected with miR-200a mimics or inhibitors. c Quantitative results of EMT marker-protein levels. d The expression levels of E-cadherin and α-SMA were detected by immunofluorescence. Scale bars = 200 μm. All above the experiments were repeated 3 times, values are mean ± SD; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 VS. sh-NC + mimic-NC group; ^##P < 0.01 VS. sh-ATB1 + inhibitor-NC group
