Objective To investigate the impact of miR-19b on the expression of macrophage ABCA1. Methods The protein and mRNA levels of ABCA1 were detected by Western blot and quantitative real time PCR ( qRT-PCR) respec-tively in THP-1 macrophage transfected with miR-19b mimic and inhibitor. Results The protein and mRNA levels of ABCA1 were obviously downregulated in THP-1 macrophage transfected with miR-19b mimic. The protein level of ABCA1 was evidently upregulated in THP-1 macrophage transfected with miR-19b inhibitor,while ABCA1 mRNA level had no sig-nificantly alterna...
