TNF-α alters the release and transfer of microparticle-encapsulated miRNAs from endothelial cells.

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) encapsulated within microparticles (MPs) are likely to have a role in cell-to-cell signaling in a variety of diseases, including atherosclerosis. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which different cell types release and transfer miRNAs. Here, we examined TNF-α-induced release of MP-encapsulated miR-126, miR-21, and miR-155 from human aortic endothelial cells (ECs) and their...
