MicroRNA-181b Serves as a Circulating Biomarker and Regulates Inflammation in Heart Failure
Figure 4
Effects of miR-181b on the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes. (a) Real-time PCR analysis of miR-181b expression in cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes treated with LPS for 3 hours. (b–d) Effects of miR-181b on the expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes treated with LPS. Data are expressed as , ; compared with the control group, # compared with the LPS+miRNA negative control group, and & compared with the LPS+miRNA inhibitor negative control.
