BECN1 and infection: This result was further supported by RT-qPCR and Western blotting analyses as miR-128 antagomir infection in the H9c2 cells markedly suppressed Ang II-evoked elevations in the expression of beclin 1 and LC3II protein as well as mRNA, while p62 protein was enhanced by miR-128 antagomir after Ang II stimulation (Figures 5(c) and 5(d)).
