Article Title: Role of microRNA-15a-5p/TNFAIP3-interacting protein 2 axis in acute lung injury induced by traumatic hemorrhagic shock
doi: 10.3892/etm.2020.9130
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of miR-15a-5p on TNIP2 expression in THS rats. Rats were intraperitoneally injected with inhibitor control, or miR-15a-5p inhibitor prior to THS induction. After 24 h, the level of miR-15a-5p and TNIP2 in the blood and lung tissues of THS rats was determined. The level of miR-15a-5p in the (A) blood and (B) lung tissue of THS rats was detected using RT-qPCR. The TNIP2 mRNA level in the (C) blood and (D) lung tissue of THS rats was detected using RT-qPCR: The mRNA and protein level of TNIP2 in the blood of THS rats was detected using (E) RT-qPCR and (F) western blotting. The mRNA and protein level of TNIP2 in the lung tissues of THS rats was detected using (G) RT-qPCR and (H) western blotting. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. ** P<0.01 vs. control group. miR, microRNA; THS, traumatic hemorrhagic shock; TNIP2, TNFAIP3-interacting protein 2; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR.
