Figure 4 miR-373 directly targets FLT1. (A) Binding sites between miR-373 and FLT1; (B) FLT1 mRNA expression in placentas of PE and control rats evaluated by RT-qPCR (** p<0.01 by unpaired t test); (C) relative luciferase activity in cells co-transfected with miR-373 mimic or miR-373 inhibitor and FLT1-WT-3′UTR or FLT1-MT-3′UTR (* p<0.05 by 2-way ANOVA); (D) FLT1 mRNA expression measured in cells transfected with miR-373 mimic or inhibitor by RT-qPCR (* p<0.05 by 1-way ANOVA). Each figure represents the average of 3 replicates.
