Fig. 5From: Knockdown of lncRNA PVT1 alleviates high glucose-induced proliferation and fibrosis in human mesangial cells by miR-23b-3p/WT1 axisPVT1 regulated WT1 expression through acting as a ceRNA of miR-23b-3p. MCs were transfected with si-NC, si-PVT1#1, si-PVT1#1 + anti-miR-NC, or si-PVT1#1 + anti-miR-23b-3p, followed by the detection of WT1 mRNA expression by qRT-PCR (a), WT1 protein level by western blot (b). *P < 0.05Back to article page
