Effect of miR-19b on the expression of α-SMA, COL1A1, COL3A1 and TβRII in LX-2 cells. LX-2 cells were transiently transfected with miR-19b mimics (50 nM) or miRNA negative control (miR-NC) and a, α-SMA; b, COL1A1; c, COL3A1; d, TβRII gene expression were assessed by QRT-PCR at 48 h. e, 48 h post-transfection cells were harvested and immunoblot performed on whole cell lysates for α-SMA, COL1A1, COL3A1 and TβRII. Relative amount of f, α-SMA; g, COL1A1; h, COL3A1; i, TβRII expression were quantified using densitometry analysis. *P < 0.05
