Suppression of miR-122-5p improves HFD-induced oxidative stress injury in fatty liver disease. (A) HFD-fed mice were injected with lentivirus encoding miR-122-5p antisense (miR-122-5p inhibitor) or nonsense (NC inhibitor) for 4 weeks, then the liver weight was measured. (B) Hepatic TC and TG. (C) Liver morphological characteristics were observed by H&E and Oli Red O staining after injected with miR-122-5p or NC inhibitor. (D) RT-qPCR analyzed the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8. (E) ELISA analyzed the level of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in liver tissue. (F) The activity of SOD and GSH-Px, and the content of MDA. (G) Western blot analysis of PI3K, AKT, p-AKT, mTOR, and p-mTOR expression. Error bars indicate SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
