lncRNA-ES3/miR-34c-5p/BMF axis is involved in regulating high-glucose-induced calcification/senescence of VSMCs
Figure 2. miR-34c-5p inhibiting the calcification/senescence of HA-VSMCs. (A) HA-VSMCs was transfected with miRNA NC, miR-34c-5p mimics, and miR-34c-5p inhibitor, and subjected to qRT–PCR analysis of miR-34c-5p. (B–D) HA-VSMCs were transfected with miRNA NC, miR-34c-5p mimics, and miR-34c-5p inhibitor, respectively. Then, ALP activity, OC secretion, and Runx2, p16, and p21 protein levels were measured. The data are expressed as mean ± SD, n=3, *p<0.05, **p<0.005, ***p<0.0005. NC: negative control.
