Enhanced Expression of miR-34a Enhances Escherichia coli Lipopolysaccharide-Mediated Endometritis by Targeting LGR4 to Activate the NF-κB Pathway

Figure 9

Inhibition of miR-34a enhances the expression of LGR4 in LPS-treated mice. (a) Schematic illustration of intrauterine injection of miR-34a antagomir or negative control. (b) H&E pathological analysis was conducted to identify a mouse model of endometrial inflammation (HE, ), . (c) The mRNA level of miR-34a in mouse uterine tissues by qRT-PCR. (d, e) Western blotting was used to determine the LGR4 protein level. Grey values of the indicated proteins were measured by ImageJ software. Data are expressed as the of three independent experiments (). and versus the blank group; # compared with the LPS and antagomir NC group. Comparisons among multiple groups were analysed by one-way analysis of variance with the Bonferroni posttest.
