Specificity of the Blockmir. (A) Western blot analyses of VE-cadherin, SEMA6A from HUVECs transfected with the LNA27, CD5-2, or control; α-tubulin was used as a loading control. (B) Quantitative analysis as described in (A): control (white bar), LNA27 (hatched bar), and CD5-2 (black bar); mean ± SEM, *P < .05 (n = 3-5). (C) VE-cadherin and (D) PPARγ reporter activity from cells co-transfected with mimic control (Vector[−]) or miR-27a-mimic only (Vector), or miR-27a-mimic plus Blockmirs control or CD5-2. (C) Mean ± SD from 3 independent experiments with 3 replicate samples per experiment; analysis of variance *P ≤ .05. (D) *P < .05 from a representative experiment.
