Figure 4. VEGF-A is a target of miR-320a. (A) Schematic representation of the predicted target sites of miR-320a in the 3′ UTR of VEGF-A. The 3′ end of predicted binding site in human VEGF-A is labeled with blue, the crucial seed regions in 5′ end of miR-320a is labeled with red. (B) Expression of VEGF-A in the whole RNA (left) or the RNA of the anti-Ago co-IP (right) from the cell lysates. (C) VEGF-A protein level in treated HUVEC. (D) VEGF-A protein level in treated mice. Data are representative of three experiments. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, n≥3, *P<0.05 versus control, #P<0.05 versus Doxo + negative con or Doxo + rAAV-miR-320a mut, $P<0.05 versus negative con.
