MiR-654-3p mimics inhibited apoptosis of ox-LDL treated HAECs. The figure shows A miR-654-3p level evaluated by qRT-PCR, B cell viability assessed by CCK-8 assay, C apoptosis evaluated by flow cytometry and D the levels of apoptosis-related proteins detected by Western blot in HEACs transfected with miR-654-3p mimics or miR-NC, and treated with 50 μg/ml ox-LDL for 24 h. **P < 0.01
