MicroRNA-146a Decreases High Glucose/Thrombin-Induced Endothelial Inflammation by Inhibiting NAPDH Oxidase 4 Expression

Figure 4

HG/thrombin downregulated miR-146a expression in HAECs. miR-146a expression was measured by real-time PCR. HG/thrombin stimulation for 5 h decreased miR-146a expression to 58% of that in the control. The bars represent the means ± SEM from 5 experiments. and , as compared with the control. miR levels are expressed as the ratio of RNU6B levels.
