MiR-195 regulated cholesterol-related gene expression induced by LPS. a validation of miR-195 mimic and inhibitor by qRT-PCR at 24 h after transfection (b-d) After transfection with miR-195 mimic or inhibitor for 24 h, cells were exposed to LPS (1000 ng/mL) for 24 h. The expression levels of PCSK9, LDLR, HMGCR and SREBF2 in HCC cells were detected by qRT-PCR (b, c) and western blot (d). Data represent the mean ± SD of triplicate samples; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
