miR-205 and miR-206-MVs regulate the activation of apoptotic proteins. Western blot analysis of overexpression of DDX5 in the presence of miR-205 or miR-206 agomiR on the protein levels of DDX5, caspase-3/9. . miR: microRNA; ov: overexpression; DDX5: DEAD-box helicase 5; EPCs: endothelial progenitor cells; PRKs: primary rat kidney cells; MVs: microvesicles; Ang II: angiotensin II.
