miR-96-5p Induces Orbital Fibroblasts Differentiation by Targeting Smad7 and Promotes the Development of Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy

Figure 5

The effect of Smad7 on miR-96-5p knockdown mediated the inhibition of t-OFs adipogenesis. (a, b) The expression of Smad7 in each group of t-OFs. (c–g) The expression of PPAR-γ, C/EBPα, adiponectin, and FABP-4 in each group of t-OFs. (h, i) The representative images of oil red O staining on t-OFs and relative oil red O-positive cell rate. , , vs NC group, , , , vs miR-96-5p inhibitor group by one-way ANOVA.
