MicroRNA-378 Promotes Osteogenesis-Angiogenesis Coupling in BMMSCs for Potential Bone Regeneration

Figure 5

MiR-378 enhanced angiogenesis in vitro. BMMSCs were transfected with miR-378 mimics, miR-378 inhibitor, or the miR-negative control. (a) Angiogenesis gene (Ang1, Ang2, and VEGF) was evaluated by qRT-PCR for angiogenesis enhancement at different time points after transfection including 2, 7, and 14 days. (b) Overexpression of miR-378 significantly increased the VEGF protein secretion at 24 h, and levels increased through 60 h. and ; .
