Fig. 2From: Astragalus polysaccharides suppresses high glucose-induced metabolic memory in retinal pigment epithelial cells through inhibiting mitochondrial dysfunction-induced apoptosis by regulating miR-195APS inhibited the high glucose-induced upregulation of miR-195. a Treatment with APS significantly decreased the expression of miR-195 and increased the expression of Bcl-2 which were induced by HG or HG + NG treatment in ARPE-19 cell line. b Treatment with APS significantly decreased the expression of miR-195 and increased the expression of Bcl-2 which were induced by HG or HG + NG treatment in PRPE cells. c Sequence analysis result showed miR-195 directly targeted to the 3’UTR of Bcl-2. d Dual luciferase reporter assay showed miR-195 repressed the luciferase activity which contained the WT Bcl-2 3’UTR, but not the mutant Bcl-2 3’UTR.
