miR-197 Participates in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Cardiomyocyte Injury by Modulating SIRT1

Figure 2

The downregulation of miR-197 suppressed the LPS-induced inflammation injury in H9C2 cells. (a) The LDH assay kit was applied to measure the level of LDH in LPS-induced H9c2 cells transfected with or without the miR-197 inhibitor. (b, c) ELISA was conducted to evaluate the proinflammatory factors, IL-1β and IL-6. (d, e) The protein levels of apoptosis-related genes (Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3) were tested using western blot. GAPDH was used as the loading control. The experiments were repeated three times. ; vs. control; ; ; vs. LPS + IC. LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; IL-1β, interleukin-1β; IL-6, interleukin-6; Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma-2; Bax, BCL2-associated X; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; I, miR-197 inhibitor; IC, inhibitor control.
