Fig. 7From: Long non-coding RNA TUG1 promotes proliferation and migration in PDGF-BB-stimulated HASMCs by regulating miR-216a-3p/SMURF2 axisTUG1 modulated SMURF2 expression via sponging miR-216a-3p. A and B The mRNA level and protein level of SMURF2 were detected in HASMCs or HASMCs treated with PDGF-BB, PDGF-BB + si-NC, PDGF-BB + si-TUG1, PDGF-BB + si-TUG1 + anti-miR-NC, or PDGF-BB + si-TUG1 + anti-miR-216a-3p (ANOVA). The blots have been cropped. C Schematic illustration of the molecular mechanism of TUG1/miR-216a-3p/SMURF2 axis in PDGF-BB-stimulated HASMCs. *P < 0.05Back to article page
