miR-146a and miR132 involve angiogenesis of HUVECs. (a) The expression of miR-146a and miR-132 in HUVECs transfected with the miR-146a (miR-146a(i)) or miR-132 inhibitor (miR-132(i)), as determined by real time-qPCR. (E; exosome) (b) The expression levels of vasohibin-1(VASH1), thrombospondin-1(THBS1), angiopoietin1(ANGPT1), and flk1(KDR) in HUVECs transfected with the miR-146a or/and miR-132 inhibitor, as evaluated by real time-qPCR. (c) Tube formation in HUVECs transfected with the miR-146a or/and miR-132 inhibitor was determined using matrigel assay (× 100 magnification, scale bar = 200 μm). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *Significant difference from untreated control (p < 0.05). **Significant difference from untreated control (p < 0.01).
