Green Tea Prevents NAFLD by Modulation of miR-34a and miR-194 Expression in a High-Fat Diet Mouse Model

Figure 5

Validation of target mRNAs regulated by miR-34a and miR-194 in HepG2 cells. (a) miR-34a expression, (b) Sirt1, (c) Ppara, (d) Insig2, (e) miR-194 expression, (f) Hmgcs2, (g) Apoa5, (h) 34a expression, and (i) miR-194 expression. The results are presented as of at least 05 in vitro transfection experiments. Student’s -test was used for the statistical analysis. When the difference was statistically significant, the following superscript letters were used: ^aCompared to the Scramble group. ^bCompared to the miR-34a, miR-194, or TNF-α group. ^cCompared with respective group without GT.
