Lipopolysaccharide Inhibits Alpha Epithelial Sodium Channel Expression via MiR-124-5p in Alveolar Type 2 Epithelial Cells
Figure 5
MSCs-CM and miR-124-5p inhibitor increase the protein expression of α-ENaC in AT2 cells after LPS administration. (a) Representative Western blot measurement of α-ENaC protein expression in control AT2 cells (CON), LPS (10 μg/ml, 12 h)-treated AT2 cells (LPS), MSCs-CM (24 h treated LPS group) (LPS + CM), LPS-treated AT2 cells transfected with miR-124-5p inhibitor negative control (LPS + InNC), or miR-124-5p inhibitor (LPS + Inhibitor) for 48 h. (b) Graphical representation of data obtained from Western blots and quantified through gray analysis (α-ENaC/β-actin). , compared with the CON group; , compared with the LPS group; , compared with LPS + InNC group; N = 4.
