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

Figure 5

Overexpression of miR-181c-5p results in reduced levels of mRNA (a) and protein (b) of PTPN4 in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. (c) Potential target sites for miR-181c-5p binding in the 3-UTR of PTPN4 mRNA (rat), as predicted by the TargetScan program. (d) Luciferase assays identified PTPN4 as a direct target of miR-181c-5p. Data are shown as ; vs. NC or PTPN4-WT+NC, vs. PTPN4-WT+miR-181c-5p, .
