Abstract excerpt
Previously, we identified a microRNA (miRNA) signature for endothelial cells (ECs) subjected to unidirectional shear stress (USS). MiR-155, a multifunctional miRNA that has been implicated in atherosclerosis, was among the shear stress-responsive miRNAs. Here, we examined the role of miR-155 in modulating EC phenotype and function. In vitro, increased miR-155 levels in human ECs induced changes in morphology and...
