miR-25-5p negatively regulates signaling pathways in ROS response and apoptosis of the brain of septic rats. (A) Effects of AAV-miR-25-5p on miR-25-5p, TXNIP, catalase, and MnSOD mRNA fold changes (A), and TXINP, catalase, cleaved caspase-1, NLRP3, and MnSOD protein fold changes in the brain of septic rats (B). The relative expression levels of miRNA and mRNA were determined by qPCR and protein levels were determined by western blotting. The independent t-test was applied to the comparison between groups. Values are shown as the mean ± SD (A, and B). Con: negative control, LPS: lipopolysaccharide, AAV: adeno-associated virus. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01. ***P < 0.001. ****P < 0.0001.
