Fig. 4From: Regulation of connective tissue growth factor expression by miR-133b for the treatment of renal interstitial fibrosis in aged mice with unilateral ureteral obstructionmiR-133b inhibited EMT of HK2 cells induced by TGF-β1. Normal (untransfected) HK2 cells or HK2 cells transfected with miR-133b mimic/NC-miR for 24 h were stimulated with 8 ng/mL of TGF-β1 for 48 h. A Real-time PCR results. B Western blotting results. C Cell immunofluorescence assay results. a: P < 0.05 versus the control group; b: P < 0.05 versus the TGF-β1 groupBack to article page
