Protein samples were isolated from HUVEC tranfected with miR-16-Mimic, miR-16-Inhibitor, Mimic-NC or Inhibitor-NC. Protein extracts obtained with NP40 Lysis Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, catalog number #FNN0021) were separated on SDS–PAGE gels and western blot analyses were performed by standard protocols. The antibodies used were the following: polyclonal rabbit anti-eNOS antibody (Cell Signaling, catalog number #9572), goat polyclonal anti-phospho-eNOS (Ser 1177) antibody (Santa Cruz Biotech., sc-12972), AKT antibody (Cell Signaling, catalog number #9272), rabbit Phospho-Akt (Ser473) antibody (Cell Signaling, catalog number #193H12), mouse monoclonal RhoGDIα antibody (Santa Cruz Biotech., sc-373724) and rabbit polyclonal anti-GAPDH (FL-335) antibody (Santa Cruz Biotech., sc-25778). Quantification of Western blots was performed by densitometry using NIH ImageJ software. Full-length blots for the figures were presented in Supplemental Fig. 8.
