Article Title: Downregulation of miR-140-3p Contributes to Upregulation of CD38 Protein in Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells

Figure Lengend Snippet: Downregulation of miR-140-3p in bronchial smooth muscles of antigen-induced airway hyperresponsive (AHR) mice. The ovalbumin (OA)-immunized animals were repeatedly challenged with aerosolized OA solution, and total RNAs including miRNAs were extracted from the main bronchi 24 h after the last challenge. The miR-140-3p levels were determined by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. The relative expression of miR-140-3p to U6 snRNA was calculated by the 2 − ΔΔCT methods as described in the methods section. Results are presented as mean ± S.E. from six animals, respectively. ** p < 0.01 versus control animal (Cont) by unpaired Student’s t -test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Upregulation of CD38 protein ( A ) but not mRNA ( B ) in bronchial smooth muscles of antigen-induced airway hyperresponsive (AHR) mice. The ovalbumin (OA)-immunized animals were repeatedly challenged with aerosolized OA solution, and proteins and total RNAs including miRNAs were extracted from the main bronchi 24 h after the last challenge. The protein ( A ) and mRNA ( B ) levels of CD38 were determined by immunoblotting and quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The relative expressions of CD38 to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; ( A , B )) were calculated as described in the methods section. Results are presented as mean ± S.E. from six animals, respectively. ** p < 0.01 versus control animal (Cont) by unpaired Student’s t -test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of interleukin-13 (IL-13) on the expressions of miR-140-3p ( A ) and CD38 mRNA ( B ) in cultured human bronchial smooth muscle cells. Cells were treated with IL-13 (100 ng/mL) or its vehicle (Veh) for 24 h and total RNAs including miRNAs were extracted. The gene expressions were determined by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. The relative gene expressions of miR-140-3p to U6 snRNA ( A ) and CD38 to GAPDH mRNAs ( B ) were calculated by the 2 − ΔΔCT methods as described in the methods section. Results are presented as mean ± S.E. from six independent experiments. ** p < 0.01 versus Veh by unpaired Student’s t -test.
