miR-126 Mimic Counteracts the Increased Secretion of VEGF-A Induced by High Glucose in ARPE-19 Cells

Figure 1

(a) Levels of miR-126 in ARPE-19 cells cultured for 24 hours in standard medium (CTR), silencing (inhib) and upregulating (mimic) miR-126 in control condition and in presence of high glucose (HG). Gene expression was normalized vs. U6 housekeeping gene. (b) mRNA levels of VEGF-A in ARPE-19 cells cultured for 24 hours in standard medium (CTR), silencing (inhib) and upregulating (mimic) miR-126 in control condition and in presence of high glucose (HG). VEGF-A gene expression was normalized vs. β-actin as housekeeping gene. Data are presented as the of three experiments (). , , and vs. CTR; ^$$$ HG+mimic vs. HG.
