Fig. 6From: microRNA-186 in extracellular vesicles from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells alleviates idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis via interaction with SOX4 and DKK1EV-miR-186 alleviates PF in vivo. a Hydroxyproline content in the lung tissues of mice. b miR-186 expression in the lung tissues of mice determined by RT-qPCR. c–e The protein expression of SOX4 and DKK1 in the lung tissues of mice determined by Western blot analysis. f The protein expression of α-SMA and collagen I in the lung tissues of mice measured by Western blot analysis. *p < 0.05 vs. the sham-operated mice; #p < 0.05 vs. the mice with PF; &p < 0.05 vs. the mice with PF treated with EVs from inhibitor NC-transfected BMSCs. Differences among groups were determined by one-way ANOVA, N = 8Back to article page
