Analysis of miR-124 and RhoG expression during cell proliferation. (A) Representative images of cell confluence after plating 7.5 × 104 RPE cells/mL in 6-well cell culture plates. (B) At the indicated time points, RPE cells were counted in triplicate cell culture wells. (C) Quantitative measurements of endogenous miR-124 expression levels in RPE cells at the indicated time points. The quantitative miRNA expression results were normalized to RNU6 and miR-16 expression levels. (D) The protein levels of cell cycle regulatory factors and RhoG were analyzed by western blotting. (E) Quantitative evaluation of endogenous miR-124 expression in non-treated or miR-124 inhibitor-treated RPE cells. (F) Expression of RhoG in non-treated or miR-124 inhibitor-treated RPE cells was assessed using western blotting.
