Figure 10. miR-363-3p enhances tube formation of CAECs by targeting NOX4. (A) representative images of the tubular structures in CAECs (scale bar = 100 μm); (B) quantification of tubular structures in CAECs; the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey's test; n = 3; * p < 0.05 vs. the blank group; # p < 0.05 vs. the miR-363-3p mimic group; CAECs, coronary artery endothelial cells; miR, microRNA; NOX4, NADPH oxidase 4; NC, negative control.
