Knockdown of lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 reduced I/R-induced BUMPT cell apoptosis, which was reversed by the miR-221-5p inhibitor. BUMPT cells were co-transfected with ENSMUST_147219 siRNA (100 nM) and anti-miR-221-5p or scramble and then subjected to I(2 h)/R(2 h). A RT-qPCR analysis of the expression levels of ENSMUST_147219. B RT-qPCR analysis of the expression levels of miR-221-5p. C and D The FCM analysis of BUMPT cells apoptosis. E Immunoblot analysis of cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3. F Densitometric analysis of immunoblot bands. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). #P < 0.05, scramble or lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 siRNA with I/R2-2 group versus scramble group; *P < 0.05, lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 siRNA plus anti-miR-221-5p with I/R2-2 group versus lncRNA ENSMUST_147219 siRNA with I/R2-2 group
