Effects of the WSYQKL-containing serum on cell proliferation-related protein levels in CSE-mediated HASMCs with miR-155 overexpression or FoxO3a knockdown. (a) Overexpression of miR-155 suppressed FoxO3a expression in HASMCs. (b) A predicted binding site of miR-155 within the FoxO3a 3′‐UTR region. Luciferase reporter assay was used to determine the direct interaction between miR-155 and FoxO3a 3′‐UTR. (c) Western blotting was used to detect the PCNA, Ki67, p21, p27, and FoxO3a protein expression levels in CSE-mediated hASMCs with 20% WSYQKL-containing serum treatment after transfection with miR-155 mimic or si-FoxO3a. , vs 2.5% CSE + miR-155 mimic group. , vs 2.5% CSE + si-FoxO3a group.
