[Retracted] Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Rescue Tendon Injury in Rat via the miR-19 a/IGFBP3 Axis

Figure 5

EV-derived miR-19a inhibited IGFBP3 expression through targeting its 3UTR. (a) Putative binding sites of miR-19a and IGFBP3 mRNA 3UTR were predicted by DIANA-LncBase V2 and Targetscan. (b) Luciferase reporter analysis was performed to detect the bindings between miR-19a and IGFBP3 in tendon cells. (c) The effect of miR-19a intervention on the expression of IGFBP3 in tendon cells was evaluated using qRT-PCR. (d) The expression of IGFBP3 was evaluated using qRT-PCR in the injury group, injury+ADSCs, and injury+EV groups (, , and ).
