miR-98-5p Alleviated Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Renal Fibrosis via Targeting Hmga2 in Diabetic Nephropathy

Figure 4

EMT and renal fibrosis were restrained by overexpression of miR-98-5p in db/db mice. mRNA expression of E-cadherin (a) and N-cadherin (b). Western blot images of E-cadherin and N-cadherin (c). Quantification of the western blot images of E-cadherin and N-cadherin (d and e). mRNA expression of TGF-β1 (f) and COL4A1 (g). The western blot images of TGF-β1 and COL4A1 (h). Quantification of the western blot images of TGF-β1 (i) and COL4A1 (j). for each group. Data are representative of three experiments. Error bars stand for the mean ± SD of at least triplicate experiments. .
