Figure 7

Effects of miR-205 and miR-206 interacting with DDX5 on the proliferation and apoptosis of PRKs. (a, b) CCK8 analysis of the effect of overexpressing DDX5 on the proliferation rate of PRKs in the presence of miR-205 (a) and miR-206 (b) agomiR. (c, d) FCM analysis of the effect of overexpressing DDX5 on the apoptosis of PRKs in the presence of miR-205 (c) and miR-206 (d) agomiR. . RT-qPCR: real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction; miR: microRNA; ov: overexpression; DDX5: DEAD-box helicase 5; Ang II: angiotensin II; FCM: flow cytometry; EPCs: endothelial progenitor cells; PRKs: primary rat kidney cells; MVs: microvesicles; CCK-8: Cell Counting Kit-8.
