Effects of LEGLTBC silencing on rat pancreatic islets. (a) Downregulation of LEGLTBC using siRNA for 48 h and the expression of LEGLTBC in HG/PA-treated rat islets assessed by qRT-PCR analysis. (b) The expression of miR-34a in HG/PA-treated rat islets was assessed by qRT-PCR analysis. Rat pancreatic islets transfected with si-NC or si-LEGLTBC were treated with HG/PA, followed by the detection of SIRT1 and cleaved caspase 3 expression (c, d, and e) and ROS production (f). Results are presented as of independent experiments. Conditions significantly different ().
