[Retracted] MiR-192-5p Alleviated Fibrosis and Inflammatory Responses of Tendon Cells by Targeting NFAT5

Figure 4

NFAT5 is a direct target of miR-192-5p in tendon cells. (a) The predicted target binding site for miR-299-3p in the 3UTR of NFAT5 based on the TargetScan software (http://www.targetscan.org/vert_72/). (b) Dual luciferase reporter assay results show the luciferase activity in tendon cells cotransfected with plasmid containing wild-type (WT) or mutant (MT) NFAT5 3-UTR and miR-192-5p. (c) The mRNA expression of NFAT5 in tendon cells with different treatments detected by RT-qPCR. (d) The protein expression of NFAT5 in tendon cells with different treatments detected by Western blot. (e) Quantitative analysis of Western blot data referring to the protein expression of NFAT5. , , vs NC mimic; , , vs miR-192-5p mimic.
