From: miR-27b inhibits fibroblast activation via targeting TGFβ signaling pathway
Effects of miR-27b on contractile activity of lung fibroblasts. LL29 lung fibroblasts were infected with miR-27b lentivirus or virus control (VC), and then treated with TGFβ1. The cells were mixed with collagen I and seeded in 24-well plates for 48 h. Images were taken and gel areas were quantified using Image J. Collagen gel contractile activity was calculated as gel surface area divided by well surface area. The results are expressed as a fold change over VC without TGFβ1 treatment (CON). Data shown are means ± S.E., n = 5,*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. ANOVA, followed by Turkey’s test
