N-Hcy-protein, Hcy-thiolactone, and Hcy upregulate the expression of autophagy-related miRs in HUVEC. Bar graphs show levels of miR-21 (A), miR-155 (B), miR-216 (C), and miR-320c (D) in HUVEC treated with N-Hcy-protein (N-Hcy), Hcy-thiolactone (HTL), or Hcy for 24 h. The expression of miRs was quantified by RT-qPCR with 18S rRNA and U6 snRNA as references. Each assay was repeated three times (technical repeats) in three independent experiments (biological repeats). Mean ± SD values of three biological repeats for each treatment group are shown. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 from one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
