MicroRNA-133b Alleviates Hypoxia Injury by Direct Targeting on NOD-Like Receptor Protein 3 in Rat H9c2 Cardiomyocyte

Figure 3

Dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed that NLRP3 is a direct target gene of miR-133b. (a) The luciferase activity of miR-133b was performed. The wide type (wt) or mutant (mut) NLRP3 with miR-133b binding site were integrated into a pmir-GLO dual-luciferase vector, and cotransfected with miR-133b or negative control (NC) mimics into cells. (b) The expression of NLRP3 mRNA in H9c2 cells. (c) The NLRP3 protein level in H9c2 cells. Error bars represent mean ± SD (n = 3). , vs. control.
