microRNA-222 Controls Neovascularization by Regulating Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5A Expression
21 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Inflammatory stimuli released into atherosclerotic plaque microenvironment regulate vessel formation by modulating gene expression and translation. microRNAs are a class of short noncoding RNAs, acting as posttranscriptional regulators of protein-coding genes involved in various biological processes, including vascular cell biology. Among them, microRNA-221/222 (miR-221/222) seem to negatively modulate...
