Role of HIF-1α-miR30a-Snai1 Axis in Neonatal Hyperoxic Lung Injury

Figure 3

miR30a-5p decreases SNAI1 expression in female neonatal human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells: (a) TargetScan reported miR-30a binding sites 630-637 bp in the 3UTR of SNAI1. Treatment with the miR30a-5p mimic increased the miR30a-5p expression (b) in HPMECs. SNAI1 mRNA (c) and protein (d) expressions were decreased in neonatal HPMECs after miR30a-5p overexpression. In contrast, treatment with the miR30a-5p inhibitor increased SNAI1 protein (e) expression ( experimental replicates/group). Values are . Significant differences between nontreated controls are indicated by and .
