Article Title: MicroRNA-147b Regulates Vascular Endothelial Barrier Function by Targeting ADAM15 Expression
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0110286
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Representative Western blot from human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMEC) transfected with 200 nM miR-147b mimic or a miR negative control. (B) ADAM15 expression was measured 48 h post-transfection and quantified with densitometry. (C) Incubation with 200 ng/ml LPS for 24 h caused an increase in albumin permeability across HLMEC monolayers, an effect diminished in cells transfected with miR-147b. Data represent mean ± SEM. * P <0.05 vs. control scrambled miR, # P <0.05 vs. LPS scrambled miR.
Article Snippet: To examine the surface expression of ADAM15, transfected HUVECs were stained with anti-ADAM15 ectodomain antibody (Cat. # MAB935, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.) for 30 min on ice followed by incubation with Cy3-conjugated secondary antibody (Cat. # 715-166-150, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA, U.S.A.) for another 30 min.
