Fig. 3From: MicroRNA-218-5p regulates inflammation response via targeting TLR4 in atherosclerosisEffects of miR-218-5p on macrophage viability and apoptosis. (A). Expression of miR-218-5p in macrophages induced by ox-LDL at different concentrations. (B). ox-LDL induction of macrophages resulted in reduced miR-218-5p expression, while transfection with miR-mimic increased miR-218-5p level. (C). Upregulated expression of miR-218-5p could significantly improve cell viability. (D). Overexpression of miR-218-5p attenuated ox-LDL-induced apoptosis. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 vs. Control group. ###P < 0.001 vs. ox-LDL groupBack to article page
