MiR-1976 overexpression reversed E. coli-induced vaginal infection in mice. (a) Administration of the miR-1976 overexpression vector restored the miR1976 expression suppressed by E. coli infection in the vaginal tissues of mice, as measured by qRT-PCR analysis; (b) The total number of vaginal microbes was significantly reduced after administration of the miR1976 adenoviral vector. (c) Histological analysis showed that abnormal pathological changes caused by E. coli can be reversed by miR1976 overexpression. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with the control group; **P < 0.01, compared with the E. coli infection group.
