miR-181c-5p Exacerbates Hypoxia/Reoxygenation-Induced Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis via Targeting PTPN4

Figure 3

Inhibition of miR-181c-5p with miR-181c-5p antagomir (anti-miR-181c-5p) did not change the expression of miR-181c-5p (a) but alleviated H/R-induced H9C2 cell injury (as evidenced by reduced LDH release (b) and increased cell viability (c)) and reduced apoptosis (as evidenced by reduced ratios of cleaved/total caspase 3 and Bax/Bcl-2 (d) and attenuated TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells (e)). Scale bar: 200 μm. Data are shown as ; vs. CTL, vs. NC antagomir (anti-NC), .
