Fig. 1From: miR-27b inhibits fibroblast activation via targeting TGFβ signaling pathwaymiR-27b expression in the lung tissues and fibroblasts from bleomycin-treated mice. The lung tissues were collected from saline control (CON) and bleomycin-treated mice. Fibroblasts and alveolar epithelial type II cells (AEC II) were isolated from the lungs. Alveolar epithelial type I cells (AEC I) were obtained via trans-differentiation by culturing AEC II for 5 days in vitro. The expression of miR-27b was determined by real-time PCR and normalized to RNU6 (U6). Data shown are means ± S.E. **P < 0.01. n = 9 for lung tissues; n = 10 for fibroblasts; and n = 3 for AEC I and AEC II. Student t-testBack to article page
