Traditional Chinese Medicine Shen-Yuan-Dan (SYD) Improves Hypoxia-Induced Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis in Neonatal Rats by Upregulating miR-24/Bim Pathway

Figure 4

Bim is the direct target gene of miR-24. (a) Schematic description of the base-pairing interaction between miR-24 and Bim mRNA. (b) Luciferase reporter assay was performed in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes that were cotransfected with miR-24 mimics or NC-mimics together with reporter vectors containing Bim 3′UTR or mutated Bim 3′UTR. Relative luciferase activities were presented. (c, d) Western blot analysis showed that the expression of Bim protein was significantly decreased after transfection with miR-24 mimic in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. versus NC group; ## versus miR-24 mimic NC group.
