The Involvement of miR-29b-3p in Arterial Calcification by Targeting Matrix Metalloproteinase-2

Figure 5

Target verification between miR-29b-3p and MMP2 in HEK293T cells. The luciferase reporter plasmids (3′-UTR wild-type, 3′-UTR mutant of MMP2, and the 3′-UTR negative control) and the renilla plasmid were cotransfected into HEK293T cells. The TRAF6 and has-miR-146b genes were used for the positive control group. Data was expressed as the mean ± SD, and each experiment was repeated three times.
