Figure Lengend Snippet: – ZEB1-AS1 promotes CH by regulating the miR-186-5p/HDAC2 pathway. A) HDAC2 mRNA in ISO-stimulated AC16 cells transfected with the indicated constructs measured by qRT-PCR; B) AC16 cell surface area after ISO stimulation and transfection with the indicated constructs assessed by immunofluorescence; C) mRNA levels of BNP, ANP, and β-MHC in ISO-stimulated AC16 cells after transfection measured by qRT-PCR; D) protein levels of BNP, ANP, and β-MHC in ISO-stimulated AC16 cells after transfection measured by Western blot. All experiments were performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. ANP: atrial natriuretic peptide; BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide; β-MHC: beta-myosin heavy chain; CH: cardiac hypertrophy; HDAC2: histone deacetylase 2; ISO: isoproterenol; qRT-PCR: quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; sh-NC: short hairpin RNA–negative control; sh-ZEB1-AS1: zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 antisense RNA 1-targeting short hairpin RNA; miR-186-5p: microRNA-186-5p.
