Figure Lengend Snippet: A. VEGF expression levels are decreased in miR-195-overexpressing MSC compared with scrambled when analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (** P < 0.01, Student t test). VEGF expression levels are increased in anti-miR-195 MSC compared with scrambled negative control when analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (* P < 0.05, Student t test). B. Levels of secreted VEGF protein (pg/ml) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and are reduced in miR-195-MSC conditioned media versus SCR-MSC conditioned media (* P < 0.05, Student t test), while increased in anti-miR-195-MSC conditioned media versus SCR negative control-MSC conditioned media (* P < 0.05, Student t test). C. Luciferase levels were reduced when PGL3-VEGF (VEGF) but not PGL3-VEGF-mutated (VEGF_Mut) was cotransfected with miR-195 compared with scrambled (SCR), in both U-2 OS and HeLa cells. Values represent mean±SD of 3 replicates (* P < 0.05, Student t test). D. Luciferase levels were not altered after cotranfection of PGL3-SMAD5 (SMAD5) with miR-195 compared with scrambled (SCR) in U-2OS cells. E. Luciferase levels were not altered after cotranfection of PGL3-HOXA10 (HOX10A) with miR-195 compared with scrambled (SCR) in U-2OS cells. F. Expression levels of SMAD5 were decreased 48hours after MSC miR-195-electroporation, while increased 48hours after MSC anti-miR-195-transfection compared with control. Values represent mean±SD of 2 replicates (* P < 0.05, Student t test). G. Expression levels of HOXA10 were decreased 48hours after MSC miR-195-electroporation, while increased 48hours after MSC anti-miR-195-transfection compared with control. Values represent mean±SD of 2 replicates (* P < 0.05, Student t test).
